Make it a 13-game win streak for Boston. 

The Nets made it interesting down the stretch, but Boston just had too much talent (and offensive rebounding) for Brooklyn to overcome. Boston ended up with a 109-102 win over Brooklyn Tuesday night.

When it comes to positives for Brooklyn, the bench was the story. As Ian Eagle calls them, Joe Harris and Caris LeVert were the “bench buddies” that led the Nets in their runs through the game. Overall, Brooklyn outscored Boston’s bench 38-13.

Harris made five threes, and LeVert had plays like this that show how he can impact a game.

Caris LeVert has found his touch.

Despite an underwhelming first quarter in which the Nets were left in a nine-point hole, Brooklyn used a 31-point second quarter to enter halftime tied with Boston. With D’Angelo Russell out due to injury, Spencer Dinwiddie shined in the first half, recording seven assists to zero turnovers.

Despite taking care of the ball, the game got away from Brooklyn in the fourth quarter. Marcus Morris scored 11 of his 21 points in the fourth, and masked Kyrie Irving made sure the Nets were on their toes.

He-who-must-not-be-named Jaylen Brown also had a solid game with 14 points and three steals, but you didn’t hear it from me. 

The Nets had their runs through the second and third quarters, highlighted by the “bench buddies.” Offense operated smoothly between Dinwiddie, Harris, Crabbe and LeVert, but the 13-2 Celtics had answers. It helps when Boston’s starting lineup all scores at least 14 points each, too. 

Boston made their eventual game-winning surge off a sense of urgency in the fourth quarter, transforming defense into offense and going on an 8-0 run that followed the team’s 19-5 run in the third quarter. The Nets had a 10-2 run of their own in the fourth quarter, but the Celtics used the remaining minutes to make sure their win was not in question. 

While the Nets get the loss, the team had players that stepped up in their roles in the absence of Make it a 13-game win streak for Boston.

The bench helped make up for his offensive contribution, and Dinwiddie dished the ball, but there’s a reason the Celtics have the best record in the league, so the Nets don’t play spoiler this time.

The current Nets’ stretch holds some rest time for Brooklyn, as the team’s next game does not come until Friday, Nov. 17 against the Utah Jazz (again) at 7:30 p.m. A rematch coming less than a week after Brooklyn’s loss to Utah, some rest time might play in Brooklyn’s favor to snag the win this time.
