The Brooklyn Nets took a loose ball and turned it into street ball magic on Sunday night against the Cavaliers.
The Nets are so good they’re basically playing street ball
Whoa ...
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Let’s be real: This all starts with the astounding pass from Blake Griffin, which, honestly — I didn’t know Blake Griffin could make a pass like this. The Nets had so much confidence that they pulled this off in the second quarter, and it’s normally the kind of thing you’d see in a fourth quarter blowout.
Perhaps the best part of all this is that the refs couldn’t even contain their excitement.
Now, you can clutch pearls about a referee enjoying this play — but, like, they’re only human. If you’re down on the floor and get to see this first hand and don’t have a smile on your face, then I’m not sure you’re even human. So don’t think for a second this influenced the game or something dumb like that, it’s just some refs who love ball, appreciating an incredible moment.
The Sixers might have the No. 1 seed in the east, and deservedly so, but this play is on a whole other level. I’ll be back after I pick my jaw up off the floor.
