The emotions were running high in this game. And you could tell early on.
The Boston Celtics fans showed the class they have. Giving a loud great standing ovation for Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce when they were introduced.
Also Celtics, gave them both each an amazing tribute video that left the crowd chanting their names.
You could tell the emotion running through KG & Pierce.
Both of them struggled. As did the rest of the Nets early on. Nets only managed 11 points in the first quarter.
Andray Blatche was key in tonight's game dropping 17 points.
Nets had a slight lead at the half up by one (36-35). Very low scoring game throughout.
Scoring picked up a bit in the second half. Pierce continued to struggle with his shot.
Pierce was 2-10 in his return to Boston with 6 points. He struggled with his shot throughout.
Garnett was 3-6 and had 6 points. He had the moment of the game. Nets up 80-77 Garnett steals it takes it the length of the court and finishes it to give Brooklyn the 82-77 lead.
Nets go on to win it by a final of 85-79. The Nets are now 9-0 I believe with the starting lineup of Shaun Livingston, Joe Johnson, Alan Anderson, Paul Pierce, & Kevin Garnett.
Deron Williams continues to come off the bench. And why not? The Nets are winning.
Nets came into January with a record of 10-21. Nets are now 20-22 and find themselves 1.5 games back of first in the Atlantic.
Nets play tomorrow against the Atlantic leading Toronto Raptors. Who will be without their leading scorer Demar DeRozan due to injury. Just makes this game a little more win able for Brooklyn.
Nets are now 10-1 in 2014.
