The Nets still rank last in attendance across the NBA this season, but they have noticed a change at Barclays Center during their recent rise up the standings: fans are coming to see them, not their opponents.
“I put it like this: I think our fans, even though they’ve been around the last few years and they’ve just been showing up to games just to watch the show, not really caring who wins, just anticipating a good game. I think recently fans are showing up with the Brooklyn-type pride and wanting to see us do well,” D’Angelo Russell said Tuesday.
