Nets looking to ‘stay humble’ as James Harden showdown looms

HOUSTON — The Nets don’t talk about the playoffs. But they’re all about the day-to-day grind of getting there.

“I still think we have a long way to go to talk playoffs,” coach Kenny Atkinson said after his team’s 109-102 home win Monday over the Celtics.

“We’re making strides toward doing something special here, but I’m super-cautious. I just want our group to stay humble, understand we’ve got to lock into each game, lock into the Nets and getting better, and good things can happen.

“We’re in a position we’ve never been in,” Atkinson added.
