Time is running out. The Brooklyn Nets needed a win in the worst way against the Charlotte Hornets. Instead, the worst happened as they suffered another debilitating defeat. They are now 4.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the final play-in spot and things are looking pretty bleak.
The opponent tonight is dealing with injury woes, but they’re still hanging tough. It took overtime, but the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to outlast the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night at home. The win helped the Cavs maintain their second place position in the Eastern Conference standings.
