NEW YORK _ Symptoms of The Grind were everywhere at Barclays Center Wednesday night. They included poor shooting and tired legs, lapses small and big, and _ for a while at least _ the inability to pull ahead against the woeful Bulls, no matter how hard the Nets seemed to try.
But that's just what it's like when you're on the second game of an away-and-home back-to-back and when your roster has been in various stages of injury. And that's maybe doubly true when every game matters, and could mean the difference between achieving a long-deferred dream or an early end to a promising season.
Good teams learn to overcome symptoms of the grind, though, and slowly, the Nets are proving they're one of those teams.
