Nets #Nets

It all comes down to this. After months of planning, and two weeks of seeding games inside the NBA’s Disney World bubble, the Portland Trail Blazers will face the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night in a matchup that will decide who gets the final spot in this weekend’s Western Conference play-in tournament. 

The situation is pretty simple. Win, and Portland advances to the play-in, lose, and the Suns are in, extending Phoenix’s miracle run. After the third quarter, the Nets have surged in front to take are up 104-97. Caris LeVert has put on a show, going for 28 points and nine assists to lead a hot-shooting Brooklyn team. Damian Lillard, meanwhile, has 30 points and eight assists despite the Nets’ best efforts to frustrate him.
