Late-game confusion turns Nets upset into upset Nets
The talk should have been about how great that final play was, how all the pinwheeling around Brook Lopez was just a cunning misdirection for Lopez to pull off a sneaky push-off and create perhaps the league’s easiest shot: an open layup at the height of the jump.
