Wine and Gold Gear Up for One-Game Showdown in Brooklyn
The Nets and Cavaliers might be the 7th- and 8th-seeded teams in the Eastern Conference, respectively, but make no mistake – Tuesday’s Play-In battle is a David vs. Goliath tale.
Brooklyn was one of the league’s preseason darlings, and with good reason – boasting a Big Three of Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant along with a rotation of accomplished veterans. Fans and pundits knew that the Wine & Gold had some good young talent, but nobody predicted that they’d more than double their win total from the previous season.
