3rd Quarter Report
Down one at the end of the second quarter, the Nets now have the lead. Sitting on a score of 88-87, they have looked like the better team, but there’s still one more quarter to play. They took a big hit to their ego last Monday, so a win here would be a pleasant pick-me-up.
The Nets came into the match with some extra motivation after the loss they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We’ll see if they’re able to flip the script or if it’ll just be more of the same.
