Grant gets the game ball for his recovery from Game 1. Just huge.

Pritchard with a better 4th quarter than Kyrie. Kyrie looked like he thought he was back on the Celtics in the Bucks series.

Thinking the exact same thing. What happened to him?

Didn't look like his head was in the game from the tip.  Even when Brooklyn was thumping us in the first half, it wasn't because of Kyrie.  Dude was completely invisible.

93% of teams down 2-0 lose in the NBA playoffs.

The C's I think are something like 40-1 when up 2-0 in the series. Sadly the one blemish was just 4 years ago to the Cavaliers and Lebron (2018)

And that's probably the game  :(

Narrator: It was not, in fact, the game  :P  :laugh:

What was it KG called it? Grit n’ balls.

This team showed it. I sense more maturity out of the two J’s . In years past they would have lost this game.

This one feels real good. Character-building win

Durant and Kyrie have no-one else to look at. They got the help they needed to get the win. It was them who came up short and choked.

Just like Durant did against GSW final year in OKC.

I want to give a big SHOUT OUT to Grant Williams!
That dude played some tough def, hit shots in the 1st half when we were dead in the water.
We don't win that game without Grant


Grant was huge tonight! He kept us in it in the first half and had some big plays down the stretch

Russillo just tweeted something which I think is accurate - this team has an extra gear and when they hit it, the Nets can't touch them. The 08 team and all the Bird era title winners had that same extra level.

Tatum so impressive with his assist line.  10 assists on a night that the shot isn't falling.

Terrific that C's took advantage of KD poor shooting.  Got to the line but forced into another bad night from the field.  Unfortunately, he'll likely hit the contested shots in Game 3.  He's not gonna shoot 23% for the series.
