It’s been tough two weeks of navigating through the latest COVID-19 outbreak but the East-best Nets are exiting the difficult tunnel with a big bright light in the future.

To make things even better for the Nets, it came after a 15-day layoff that included 10 players entering health and safety protocols and three postponed games.
