Nets reward returning fans with victory
Brooklyn thrills sparse crowd with seventh straight win
The Brooklyn Nets have won a season-high seven straight games, boast three All-Stars on their roster and lead the league with an offensive efficiency of 116.7 points per 100 possessions.
But the only number that mattered at Downtown’s Barclays Center Tuesday night was 324.
That was the total of fans admitted to the red-hot Nets’ 127-118 victory over the slumping Sacramento Kings on the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush as Brooklyn basketball fanatics strolled through the turnstiles for the first time since March 8, 2020.
