There’s one way to look at this matchup and its essence is easily captured in one particular Raymond-Felton-Yawning-During-The-Fourth-Quarter-gif. The Nets’ sudden resurgence has gone hand-in-hand with Williams’ second consecutive post-All-Star break tear. On the other hand, you’ve got Felton and the haphazard guard play that experiments with new ways to lose every week. Williams has elevated his game in 2014 and the Nets have benefitted. Raymond Felton? Well, we’re not sure he lifts much of anything.
Advantage: Nets
