You ever hit the snooze button one too many times only to wake up just in the nick of time for work? Well, Brooklyn Nets did that tonight.
On a day where almost everyone had one eye on the game and another on the standings, the Nets were blind in both. Brooklyn seemed unaware that they were facing one of the league’s worst teams for much of the game. Although you always want to respect your opponents, you could say they played down to their visitors tonight, dancing with the 18-win Houston Rockets for far too long.
