The Nets went to Boston to play the Celtics tonight and found out along the way that the starters would have the night off.  

All five starters took the game off and cheered the rest of the team onto a gutsy win.  The Nets came back late in the fourth quarter behind the Euro Twins, Teletovic and Shengalia, and pulled out a 97-96 win to go 3-0 in preseason.

Kevin Garnett on the Nets: “They’re going to be a force to be reckoned with. They’re nothing like last year. They’re gonna be strong.”
