BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Hello Brooklyn, how ya doin’? Been a long time.
Coming off three straight losses with playoff implications, Monday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks was an absolute must-win for the Brooklyn Nets. And they answered the call... and then some.
Unlike the past three games in which they were blown out of the building, the Nets flipped the switch and put a beat down on the Mavericks (27-36), 127-88, Monday night at Barclays Center. The Nets improved to 33-33 on the season and tied the Pistons for the six seed.
