CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- After one of the most tumultuous weeks in recent NBA history, an expression that seemed impossible to fathom just a few days ago appeared on the faces of Brooklyn Nets players and coaches after a come-from-behind 98-94 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night -- a smile.
The joyous scene Saturday night inside Spectrum Center capped a week that included Nets guard Kyrie Irving initially defending his decision to post about a movie and book that featured antisemitic themes and the Nets announcing that Steve Nash was out as head coach Tuesday.
