The Nets dominated the first half, were inept for much of the third quarter but regained control in the fourth quarter to survive with a messy, 121-104 victory Monday over the depleted Lakers at Barclays Center in front of 17,924. Yuta Watanabe of the Nets reacts after he hits a 3-pointer during the second quarter of the Nets win over the Lakers at Barclays Center.
Flipping him to the rebuilding Detroit Pistons for sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic could be the piece Cleveland needs to make it out of the Eastern Conference. The 33-year-old sharpshooter is having a career year in the Motor City at 21.2 points per game, and that two-year extension he signed at the start of the season was nothing more than a shrewd move to remove his de facto "rental" label in 2022-23, thereby increasing his value.
Gafford has been in the starting lineup since mid-December, averaging 11.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 23.8 minutes per game, but he had not put together a game like the one he had in Saturday's win over the Pelicans. It isn't Gafford's fault that JV's night came to a premature end, but Porzingis' absence has a lot to do with his being a 5th-round player over the last week.
Kyrie Irving emerged from the bench following a third-quarter breather to play the entire fourth quarter, scoring 21 of his 32 points to help the Nets seize control of a game that had hung in the balance and take a 122-115 victory over the Knicks. Irving sat for the final 3:16 of the third period, and while he was out, a Nets lead that had reached 18 was narrowed to seven.
NEW YORK (AP) — Kyrie Irving grew up in New York and New Jersey, so he knows better than most whether the Knicks against the Nets is a real rivalry. He didn’t seem headed that way when he was only 4 for 14 with 11 points early in the fourth quarter.

Harden scored eight of his 23 points over the final four minutes to thwart Brooklyn’s bid for a winning road trip, leading the 76ers to a 137-133 triumph over the Nets in front of 19,772 fans at the Wells Fargo Center. “We were down, we tried to come back, (but) you have to play perfect basketball to do that,” lamented Curry, who finished with a game- and season-high 32 points.
