While the Brooklyn Nets were unable to advance in the NBA's in-season tournament, they earned something more important for the road ahead: another victory Tuesday.
The Nets pushed themselves over the .500 mark for the third time with their second three-game winning streak of the season. Brooklyn's attempt at a fourth straight victory comes Thursday night when it plays host to the Charlotte Hornets.
When the Nets reeled off their first three-game winning streak, Oct. 30-Nov. 3, they earned a 133-121 victory at Charlotte, followed by single-digit wins on the road against the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls.
