Road to Respect: Nets don’t give ‘away’ much when they leave Brooklyn
There’s no place like home.
But for the Brooklyn Nets, the path to respectability as a legitimate NBA title contender has been built away from the friendly confines of the state-of-the-art Barclays Center.
After hosting Dallas on the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues on Friday, the Nets (34-24) will shoot for their fourth consecutive road win Saturday night in Chicago, hoping to bolster one of the Eastern Conference’s more impressive marks away from home.
At 14-12, Brooklyn ranks first in the Atlantic Division in road triumphs and winning percentage (.538), and is one of only nine teams on the entire NBA circuit with a better than .500 record away from its home court.
