The Brooklyn Nets haven’t had the greatest summer so far. Rather than trips to the beach, firecracker popsicles ... and efficient Vegas basketball, it’s been one with sweltering heat and humidity, bees in your red solo cup, limited offensive fluidity, and an 0-3 record.
Until tonight, when they and we got a much-needed switch up, as the Nets picked up their first win of the summer season, beating the Orlando Magic by a 94-90 score.
Hints that this game would be different from its predecessors were visible almost from the start. After a handful of rough possessions and traded trips to the free throw line, Egor Dëmin, who’s already been tagged as a guy who struggles to get to the rim, sure as hell got there to give Brooklyn its first lead of the ball game.
