Around SBN: Tottenham May Have Found Their Goalkeeper Of The Future

Shorthanded Nets Handle Cavs For Second Straight Win

Photo

The Nets have their first winning streak of the season thanks to a wire-to-wire, 99-96 victory in Cleveland on Friday night.

The Nets have now won three of their last four and four of the last six, the only losses over that stretch coming at the hands of the Bulls and Thunder.

The Nets made seven of their first 10 shots and led 30-20 after the first quarter. The second period was much uglier, but they still led by 10 at halftime. They went up by as many as 16 in the third and by 17 midway through the fourth. The Cavs made a late run to get within four with 16 seconds left, but they never got a chance to tie.

The Nets shot 46 percent from the field and 11-for-28 from 3-point range, turning the ball over just 14 times. Deron Williams led the way once again, scoring 27 points and dishing out 10 assists, hitting five of his nine threes. Anthony Morrow added 22 points and Kris Humphries recorded his eighth double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

It was only a 3 pt win at the end. I don’t care though, Cavs fans had been talking a lot of trash.

I was annoyed that we were letting Kyrie do w/e the hell he wanted at the end. Yea, he made some tough shots but most of the D on him was terrible.

Cavs announcer says Nets are starting to take on DWill's aggressive style as reason why they played better than last time.

I agree, that DWill has regained his positive attitude that he had on opening night…
and Hump is playing better as a result.

hey he was only a headcase chucker when Melo was there

Coincidence?

he looked much more team-oriented post-trade

besides Wilson is RFA and I wouldnt mind giving JR the green light off the bench against second units in front of the hometown fans

With a Nix and Bucks loss WE are 1 game out of 8th seed. Also tied with Nix on the L-Column.

As long as we keep around striking distance till Brook(s) come around we’ll be OK!

If D12 comes by March 15, I think he will take us to the 8th spot.

i didnt even look at the box score

Jarret Jack
Marco Bellinelli
Trevor Ariza
Carl Landry
Emeka Okafor

was the starting 5

and Jason Smith, Grievis Vazquez, and Aminu were the top bench guys

aka no way Magic should have lost this game if they are serious contenders
