The Brooklyn Nets are not far from competing for the NBA East Upper Echelon and tonight versus the Boston Celtics they showed the "Logo" what Flatbush Hoops is all about with a resounding 109-102 "W" over the C's and it wasn't that close after the 3rd frame barrage the Nets put on the Green Team.

It was Nets #1 dude and always "Loading" with "Ice" in his veins former Ohio State Buckeyes One and Done Star D'Angelo Russell dba in the Twittisphere @DLoading. D-Lo went off on the C's after the Nets led at the break 46-45. Russell went for 18 of his game-high 34 points in the 3rd behind four money balls. Nets had a 44-21 run in the 3rd. Brooklyn also gets 19 points apiece from both Jarrett Allen (12 rebs 4 blks) and Latvia's Rodions Kurucs.

Boston got as close as eight in the 4th but it was too late as the C's get a game-high 34 points from Jayson Tatum and 22 points from Jaylen Brown with no other starter in double figures. It's the lack of consistency for Boston coupled with the attention to detail on both ends that has the C's battling both themselves and the opposition.

Nets shoot nearly 90% from the stripe (88%) and the C's shoot 40% from the field and 30% from the arc and they are not guarding anyone...that "L" is for you Boston. No Kyrie Irving as the mystery continues and one looking close at the situation Uncle Drew might have to find another destination in the off-season. 

Brooklyn moves to 22-23 and Boston falls to 25-18 and they C's are far from competing with the Bucks and Raptors...
