This game went down to the wire.
Coming off the return game to Boston where he went 2-10, Paul Pierce dropped 33 points tonight.
He also grabbed 6 rebounds.
This had to be the most heartbreaking loss for the Nets this season.
Deron Williams is getting the blame. He made the inbound pass with 12 secs left into the backcourt and Patterson stole it passed it to Lowry who then passed it back to Patterson who pumped and hit the jumper.
Pierce had to go full length of the court because Nets didn't have a timeout, he got off a three that was on line but was short.
So, Deron Williams is getting the blame. Paul Pierce had a great game but the Nets just plain blew this game.
Nets now 20-23. They fall to 2.5 games back of first in Atlantic. They are 10-2 in 2014. Those two losses? To the Toronto Raptors.
Nets get the next three days off before hosting the hot Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night on the first leg of a back-to-back. Second leg? A visit to Indiana. Pacers 3-0 vs Brooklyn this season.
