The Brooklyn Nets did it. While “it” wasn’t the most inspiring feat, as the team avoided being the one’s to let the Detroit Pistons off the hook and end their historic losing streak, there’s a sense of triumph having now sifted through all that pressure and finishing the job. It’s almost sarcastic, a The Man by Aloe Blacc x Pat Bev edit kind of win, but a win nonetheless.
Taking down the league’s worst team, the losers of 26 in a row, sounds like simple task. It was anything but in Motor City tonight.
