Nets, down 28 to Celtics, pull off NBA's largest comeback of season

BOSTON -- The Brooklyn Nets entered TD Garden for Friday night's game against the Boston Celtics already on a four-game losing streak.

Then, midway through the second quarter, Brooklyn found itself staring at a 28-point deficit -- and, for all the world, seemed well on its way to a fifth straight defeat.

The Nets, though, had other ideas.

"There was a point in that first quarter, early second quarter, where we looked at each other and said, 'We're not going out this way,' and it kind of brought us together," Nets forward Cam Johnson said.
