PRESEASON GAME #4 - Brooklyn Nets close out schedule with a trip to Miami Heat

One of the many oddities from the Nets “Twilight of the Gods” era, those 27 games after trading KD and Kyrie, was their ability to beat some very good teams. They beat the Nuggets in Denver, the Celtics in Boston and Miami twice, including a 29-point blowout in South Beach. None of those wins came with Ben Simmons on the floor. He had already begun his six month training rehab, what he described as a restart in his Esquire interview. The Heat made it to the NBA Finals, the Nets were ignominiously swept by the 76ers.
