No such thing as an ugly win for Nets
Brooklyn Outlasts Atlanta for First Victory at Barclays Center
Style points are for fashionistas, not NBA teams struggling to remain afloat.
So the Brooklyn Nets, winners for the first time at home this season via a 90-88 triumph over the Atlanta Hawks in front of 12,241 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center on Tuesday night, weren’t going to throw back just their second victory of the campaign because it wasn’t an instant classic.
“The game wasn’t the prettiest,” Brooklyn point guard Jarrett Jack admitted after scoring 14 points and dishing out eight assists in the Nets’ first win in four home contests.
