The Brooklyn Nets won a big one on the road over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday in a game that very much had a playoff feel to it. Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Patty Mills were able to lead a fourth-quarter charge on offense that helped erase a double-digit Mavs lead. Kevin Durant played the entire second half in an interesting move by Nash and company. They dialed it up on that end and the defensive end as well with Nic Claxton and James Johnson coming off the bench for excellent efforts that helped slow down the Dallas attack. In all, this was a complete win for Brooklyn who bounced back from a tough loss to Chicago on Saturday. The Locked on Nets guys are breaking the whole thing down on the podcast.

Brooklyn heads to Boston, and that means a great cross over episode with John Karalis from the Locked On Celtics podcast. Adam and John take a deep dive on the match up, starting with the how the heck Boston has won eight out of eleven while being among the worst three point shooting teams in the league. First year head coach and former Nets assistant Ime Udoku took time to remold the defensive mindset, a process which has paid dividends of late and could prove frustrating for James Harden as he looks to get downhill at the basket. John knows Kevin Durant is unstoppable, but he highlights how the Robert Williams III and Al Horford impact could loom large for a Nets team just scratching the surface of a new potential rotation at the Center position. On the eve of Thanksgiving, this has all the makings of a great game, one the Nets will want to win before returning to Brooklyn on a four game home stand starting with Phoenix on Saturday night.
