On Saturday, November 28 the Brooklyn Nets played against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Nets have all of the odds stacked against them, but they will try their hardest to win this game. The Cavaliers, or "Cavs" for short, have what most people think to be the best lineup in the NBA today. Their starting lineup includes: Mo Williams (point guard), J.R. Smith (shooting guard), LeBron James (small forward), Kevin Love (power forward) and Timofey Mozgov (center). Kyrie Irving would be starting point guard, but he is injured. The Brooklyn Nets on the other hand, don't have as good a lineup: Jarret Jack (point guard), Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (shooting guard), Joe Johnson (small forward), Thaddeus Yound (power forward), and Brook Lopez (center).
In the first quarter the Nets suprised many fans and outscored the Cavs 24-17. At the end of the second quarter, the Nets suprised again and scored 26 points, and the Cavs only scored 27. It was a close game still, the score was 50-44 the Nets leading. In the third quarter, the Nets scored 18 points and the Cavs scored 25. The score was now 69-68 in the Cavs' favor. In the fourth quarter, the Nets scored 20 and the Cavs scored 21 points. Two of those points were the points that won the game for the Cavs. With five seconds left, the game was tied and LeBron James had the ball- the one person the Nets didn't want to have the ball. LeBron James dribbled through two of the Nets' players and scored a hook shot over their center. The Cavs won this game and that put their record at 13 wins and 4 losses. With the loss for the Nets, their record was now 3 wins and 13 losses.
