Super subs carry Nets
Brooklyn's "Bench Mob" leads the way in home win over Toronto
The 16,774 fans that made their way to the Barclays Center on Monday night had to be at least a bit disappointed when four of the Nets’ five regular starters were given the night off in advance of the team’s much-anticipated playoff opener this weekend.
“The Bench Mob” made sure every one of those Brooklynites went home happy.
Andray Blatche scored 20 points and pulled down 12 rebounds and rookie Tyshawn Taylor buried a clutch 3-pointer with 23 seconds to play as the Nets’ subsitutes rallied for a 106-101 victory over the Washington Wizards in Brooklyn’s penultimate regular-season game of the season.
