It was a big win for the Nets, who snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 33-33 on the season. Brooklyn is trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Monday's win marked a huge step in achieving that goal.
Led by head coach Kenny Atkinson, the Nets have been a great story to follow this season. No one outside of Brooklyn saw this team being this competitive, but the club has players who work well with each other. Atkinson has connected with the players.
Starting point guard D'Angelo Russell became an All-Star this season. Spencer Dinwiddie is one of the best bench players in the league. Joe Harris is one of the most lethal sharpshooters in the NBA, and the roster is filled with solid veterans who are teaching the youngsters how to win.
The Nets can't let up, though: They still need to finish the season strong if they want to make the postseason.
