Brooklyn Nets at Cleveland Cavaliers preview: Cavs go for 15th straight
Brooklyn fans should be proud of how their Nets were able to get their 111-108 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. Not just because they showed resilience until the end, or because they shot 40% as a team from beyond the arc, but because of the defense they played against Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
Yes, Doncic had a triple double and Reaves flirted with one of his own. And yes, the two had the crowd delighted at times with their moves and passes. But if you take a look at the shot chart, both Doncic and Reaves struggled. The little things like always having a hand up, or switching at the correct time, matters. The Nets did this, which is why they deserve some temporary praise.
