Brooklyn Wins For the Fifth Time by Defeating Los Angeles Lakers

Brooklyn Nets win eight of nine games as they secure a 109-98 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. These wins have been against the teams sitting in the top five spots in the standings of each conference. Having faced all except Portland, their wins have been against all the eight teams that they have played with.

The Nets separated themselves just a bit, this time around, at the end of a tight first quarter but quickly picked up the lead from there, leading by as many as 25 points from there. Kyrie Irving said that it had been fun and this is a chance that they don’t usually get in every regular season. This is also an opportunity, he says, to see where they stand as a team. This will help them move forward.
