The Brooklyn Nets left NBA All-Star Weekend feeling on top of the world. Their 22-year-old point guard scored six points against the best players in the world. Two-thirds of Brooklyn’s starting frontcourt played in the Rising Stars game.
Best of all, the bearded wonder himself, Joe Harris, defeated Stephen-freaking-Curry in the Three-Point Contest. Disney Pictures themselves couldn’t write a more perfect story.
Well, given how Thursday’s game went, I think the celebration was cut pretty short.
There’s no way around this; Brooklyn was cooked like a delicious s’more by a physical Portland Trailblazers team.
