The Nets are still a resilient basketball team under head coach Jacque Vaughn, and Mikal Bridges’ mid-range jump shot does not decline.
Those two factors — along with an overdose of zeal displayed by a Celtics team up big early — are how the Nets turned a 28-point first-half deficit on the road in Boston into an unlikely 115-105 victory against over the No. 2 seed in the Eastern conference Friday night.
It matched the largest comeback in Nets history and the largest comeback of any NBA team this season.
