March 9 - The Brooklyn Nets have had wide swings already this week, beating the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday and then two days later losing to the Detroit Pistons.
Now with another lowly team next on the schedule, the Nets can't afford a setback when visiting the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night.
"I feel like every game is a must-win with us trying to make the playoffs," Nets center Nic Claxton said. "We need to win."
While the Brooklyn and Charlotte both reside in the bottom third of the Eastern Conference, the Nets were amid their best stretch of the season until losing in Detroit.
