Blow the whistle. The Brooklyn Nets opened up December with a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. It was a nasty affair at the Clays, but the Nets did enough to get the win in front of the hometown faithful. Brooklyn remains in first place in the Eastern Conference standings.
The opponent tonight will be the Chicago Bulls. Billy Donovan and friends have been exceeding expectations and have been one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season. They almost tricked off Thursday’s game in MSG against the New York Knicks, but they did enough to come away with the win.
