Mikal Bridges scored 25 points and the Nets withstood a late rally and another triple-double by Nikola Jokic to beat the Nuggets 122-120 on Sunday for their fifth win in their last six games. NetsWorld
Trailing by eight points at the break, Brooklyn fought back to take an 80-77 lead on Bridges' jumper midway through the third quarter. The Nets stretched their advantage to 98-87 going into the fourth quarter as Royce O'Neale and Joe Harris connected on successive 3-pointers in the final 40 seconds of the third period.
Harris hit another 3-pointer to give the Nets a 109-94 advantage with 8:11 left, Brooklyn's biggest lead to that point. The Nuggets didn't go away, though, pulling within 116-110 on a three-point play by Christian Braun and Jokic's floater with 4:41 remaining. Denver got within 121-120 on a pair of free throws by Jokic with 41.6 seconds remaining and the Nuggets won a challenge with 23.2 seconds left to reverse a foul call on Jokic and gain possession, but Jokic then missed the potential go-ahead shot. The Nuggets fouled Bridges with 1.8 seconds remaining and he made one of two free throws.
