And this defeat was also likely their worst of the season.
They led 112-104 with under two minutes left, but coughed up a 12-2 run to close the game, coming unraveled at the worst possible time.They also fell half game behind the fast-charging Heat, whom they play Saturday in Miami. But it was fittingly Spencer Dinwiddie – who had a stellar night on both ends of the floor – that gave them breathing room with a layup that made it 114-12 with :29 left in regulation.
Mitchell got fouled and went to the line. He made just one of two, but the Nets failed to protect the defensive glass.
