The regular season is over and the Nets 49-33 record is the second best in the franchise's NBA history ... and the most wins for a major professional team in Brooklyn since 1957 when the Dodgers won 84 (Yes, we are channeling @Nets_PR!)
Individually, the Nets finished among the league leaders in a number of categories, led by Brook Lopez (top 10 in scoring, blocks and PER); Reggie Evans (No. 1 in rebounds per game, rebounding percentage and 20+ rebound games), Joe Johnson (No. 1 in clutch shooting) and Deron Williams (fifth in assists and most three points in a single game).
