You have to hand it to Kenny Atkinson his teams don’t ever toss in the towel. Despite heartbreaking losses, bad calls and growing pains this team doesn’t ever quit.
Entering week 8 the Brooklyn Nets had played in nine games either going to overtime (2) or decided within three points. Forget the fact their record in those outing is 3-6. Rather, focus on the Nets compete level to keep fighting.
Makes me wonder just how different this team’s record would be had Caris LeVert not gone down to injury.
