The lowdown: The 16-15 Brooklyn Nets take on the 24-6 Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at 8 P.M. EST, at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 15-2 in their last 17 games and haven’t lost at home since November 14th. The Nets are 5-11 in their last 16 games, haven’t won on the road since December 12th, and most recently were blown out on the road against San Antonio thanks to a five-point third quarter, the lowest in franchise history.
So this might be difficult.
Watch & Listen: The game is televised on YES Network. Ian Eagle & Mike Fratello are on the call. If you don’t have TV or your television was stolen by wildebeests, it’s radio broadcast on WFAN Radio. You can also listen in Spanish on WADO Radio.
