NBA : Brooklyn regains the "Eastern" lead from Philadelphia
And while Brooklyn superstar Kyrie Irving was close to a Triple Double (over ten in three stats) with 15 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, his score was very low (4 out of 19 attempts).
The Nets withstood a strong return to Boston in the last quarter (21-31), in front of a specific audience due to the Corona virus protocol, which reached 1,700 spectators at the Barclays Center Arena.
"We know that some matches won't be easy, so we have to go through some battles," Irving said.
And he missed Nets again, the stars Kevin Durant and James Harden due to injury, but he managed to advance most of the match, to regain the lead in the Eastern Province (40 wins and 20 defeats), a match difference from the Philadelphia 76ers, losing three times in a row.

Joe Harris was the best scorer for Brooklyn with 20 points, and Jeff Green added 19, while the 38 points and 10 rebounds of Jason Taitum were not enough to spare Boston his 28th to 32 wins.
