NETS QUICK HITSIF THE NETS WIN It would give the Nets a 4-3 victory in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and vault the Nets into the Eastern Conference Finals for the third time infranchise history (previously done in 2002-03 and 2001-02, with the Nets ultimately advancing to the NBA Finals in both seasons).It would be the Nets’ seventh straight home win in this postseason run, which would be the longest playoff home win streak in the team’s NBA history.
