The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Charlotte Hornets 134-132 in double OT. What a game! This game was as back and forth as you can get, as the Hornets matched the Nets every time they went on a run. This immediately goes down as one of the best Net wins of the year so far.

The Nets should’ve won the game in regulation. With 3 seconds left it looked slim for the Nets. Kemba Walker was fouled by RHJ, and Kemba is an 80% free throw shooter. Kemba drilled the first one, then missed the second one, and then inexplicably fouled DeMarre Carroll with 1.2 seconds to go. Kemba made a bonehead play, and a play that he never does. Carroll sunk the first one to tie the game at 114, but then missed the second one. Nicolas Batum went in the lane early so Carroll got another chance, but missed once again and sent the game into OT. OT was back and forth and eventually sent into double OT on a Tony Parker (who looks very strange in a Hornets uniform) miss. The Nets came out hot in OT, taking a 6 point lead, but the Hornets tied the game with under a minute to play. The game was still tied with 10 seconds to play when Malik Monk fell down and Joe Harris pick the ball up and took it down the court to give the Nets a 2 point lead. Malik Monk missed a half court prayer at the buzzer, and sent the Nets to a 17-19 record and 0.5 games out of the 8 seed.

The Nets were lead by Spencer Dinwiddie who finished with 37 points and 11 assists. Dinwiddie is proving game in and game out that he deserves the 6th man of the year award. Joe Harris was also incredible with 27 points on 5-8 3pt shooting. For the Hornets, it was all Kemba and Jeremy Lamb. Kemba had 35 points with 6 rebounds and 5 assists, while Lamb had 31 points and 6 rebounds. Give the hornets credit, they were tough all night and gave the Nets a serious run for their money. The Nets continue to play great basketball, as they are 9-1 in their last 10. This team will be in the run for the playoffs all season, and should be able to make it if they keep their play up.
