Brooklyn Nets get close, but not past Boston Celtics, losing 113-99

The Boston Celtics have finally stepped down to the Brooklyn Nets’ level. Well, almost. Four seasons (or forever) ago, these two teams faced off in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for back-to-back years.

LIVE DISCUSSION: Brooklyn Nets at Washington Wizards, 6:00 PM ET

This is THE one — the ultimate tankfest. The battle of two teams who are 1-11 and true to their record. Brooklyn’s lone win came against the only team worse than the two over in Indiana (1-12).
