HOUSTON — Gone are the days of the hype and fanfare that follows the Brooklyn Nets. There are no superstars such as Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, or James Harden. The only recognizable name on the Nets is Ben Simmons, and his time on the court has become so limited by injuries that he might as well be an assistant coach.
Yet, without big-name players on the roster, the Nets have continued to win and cause issues for teams. The Houston Rockets found out Tuesday at Toyota Center, falling to Brooklyn 118-96. The Nets improved to 37-28 and remain on track for a potential berth in the Eastern Conference playoffs, despite losing all of those stars.
