It was one of Brooklyn’s ugliest games in recent memory. The teams went back and forth, often finding themselves at an offensive impasse. It was a game where the Nets and Pelicans had just 61 and 64-points, respectively, after three quarters. The score of the game made it feel like its setting was 1989, not 2019; shots were just not going down.
Repulsive play aside, offense picked up for both squads in the fourth quarter, and the Nets put themselves in a position to win. With 25.2 seconds to play, the game was in Spencer Dinwiddie .
