Once down as many as 24, and down 20 going into the 4th, the Nets are fighting hard down the stretch in this one — but three turnovers in a row just doomed them. Too many unforced errors.

8 straight wins for the Celtics. They’ve opened up a 4.5 game lead on the Bucks, 5 game lead on the 76ers, 5.5 game lead on the Nets (Brooklyn is playing right now) and a 6 game lead on the Cavs.
That’s a nice cushion to have built before the end of January. – 10:21 PM

Monty Williams on #Nets w/o KD: “Without him, they’re playing a lot more ball (movement). It seems like us. When you lose a guy like that it takes away some of your ISOs and pick-and-rolls, so they’re transferring the ball to the second side and trying to attack the paint.” #Suns – 8:22 PM
