With a four-game losing streak, it’s probably not a good time to extol the Nets offense, but the Nets in-house beat writer, Tom Dowd, reports, the team is putting up big numbers and in particular, despite the recent adversity and season-long spate of injuries, clutch numbers.
One stat that got a lot of play this week was the Nets ability to close games. The second loss in Milwaukee was also the second loss of the season for the Nets when entering the fourth quarter with a lead. The Nets are now 33-2 and in those games.

In a season of known “data accumulation”, the Memphis Grizzlies look like geniuses, ripping off Danny Ainge for the 30th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft to select Desmond Bane out of TCU. All Bane has gone on to do in his rookie campaign is be one of the best rookie snipers the league has seen in terms of efficiency.
Bane is currently on pace to have the third best 3p% for a rookie all time with 44.8%, trailing only Anthony Morrow (46.7%) and Drazen Petrovic (45.9%). Those are not elite names by any means, but for a rookie to do something the Grizzlies franchise has longed for since Mike Miller, its a massive win. As a rookie, Bane is 7th in the entire NBA in 3-point percentage trailing Joe Harris, Kevin Durant, Marcus Morris Sr., Bobby Portis, Joe Ingles and Luke Kennard.
