Key Moment

The Brooklyn Nets had two chances to send Friday’s nail-biter against the Boston Celtics into overtime.

The luck of the Irish, however, wasn’t on their side.

Avery Bradley hit 1-of-2 attempts from the free throw line with 9.1 seconds left in regulation to give Boston a 98-95 lead.

The game was in Brooklyn’s hands at this point, as the Nets inbounded from their end of the court looking for nothing less than a 3-pointer.

Brook Lopez got the first look from the right wing, but his game-tying, fall-away 3-point attempt clanked off the back of the rim with 6.
