A new calendar year wasn’t going to slow down the Brooklyn Nets’ winning ways.
After the winningest month in franchise history, Brooklyn extended its winning streak to twelve in dominant fashion against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night with a 139-103 victory, never trailing.
“That first group really set the tone and we didn’t skip a beat,” head coach Jacque Vaughn said postgame. “That’s what we’ve been talking about as a group. No excuses. Another great challenge for our group to start the year off the right way.”
The Nets are now only one game behind the first-seeded Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings (one win and one loss) with a record of 25-12.
