Nets rally behind Spencer Dinwiddie, snap three-game losing streak in Chicago: 117-111
Photo by Gary Dineen/NBAE via Nets 117, Bulls 111. “Nobody’s panicking.” Those were the key words Kenny Atkinson said before the match up with Chicago — one in which he would be missing his top two scorers: Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Caris LeVert (thumb). The “next man up” phrase has been used so much since Atkinson took over, almost to the point where it’s become their identity. Spencer Dinwiddie has been the poster boy for that phrase. The Nets did Nets things. They played well to start the game and took an 11-point lead into the second quarter. They played great...

Same script, different day: Nets squander double digit lead and lose to Denver, 101-93
Photo by Bart Young/NBAE via Another game, another second half disappointment. The lights were bright, the altitude was high, the pressure a little higher than normal with a West coast prime time slot on TNT. This is new for the *young* Nets. But the script wasn’t. The Nets had a near picture perfect first half. The ball was moving, the energy was high on defense, role players stepped up and Kyrie Irving was at the forefront of a fine-tuned offense. They led by 12 at half — 16 with 10:06 left in the third. It still wasn’t enough. The Nuggets exploded for 31 points in the third...
