Lopez, Nets streaking toward playoffs
Center Continues to Dominate as Brooklyn Wins Fourth Straight
Brook Lopez may want to invest in a heavy-duty, extra-large backpack as he continues to carry the Brooklyn Nets toward their third consecutive playoff berth.
The Eastern Conference’s reigning Player of the Week resumed his recent tear Tuesday night in yet another “must-win” game for the postseason-hopeful Nets.
Lopez scored 24 points, ripped down 11 rebounds, blocked a pair of shots and handed out two assists in Brooklyn’s season-high fourth consecutive victory, a 111-106 triumph over the Indiana Pacers in front of 16,756 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
