NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets welcomed the Washington Wizards to Barclays Center on Saturday and won 125-123. Brooklyn has swept the regular-season series between the two teams at 4-0.

For the Nets, Cam Thomas had 44 points and five assists off the bench while Edmond Sumner had 29 points and three assists. Nic Claxton had 15 points and three blocks and Patty Mills had 13 points.

For the Wizards, Kristaps Porzingis had 38 points and five rebounds before fouling out in the fourth quarter while Deni Avdija had 23 points and four steals off the bench. Monte Morris had 18 points and Corey Kispert had 15 points.

The Brooklyn Nets looked lifeless in the first half as it looks like Kyrie Irving’s trade request has taken at least some of the team’s energy. The Nets allowed Kristaps Porzingis to score 20 points on just nine shots in the first 24 minutes.

The second half was a different story for both teams as Brooklyn won the second half 70-50. That massive comeback was because of Cam Thomas and Edmond Sumner reaching career-highs in scoring and Nic Claxton being the stabilizing force for Brooklyn like he has been all season.

Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the Nets’ spectacular win:

  • 'Prickly Customer': Sweet Potato-Loving Cape Porcupine Named Louie Born at Monarto Safari Park

    South Australia’s Monarto Safari Park has welcomed the arrival of a baby Cape porcupine named Louie.The two-month-old was born in late January to mom Rita and dad Oliver. Its sex is currently not known and will be confirmed at a six-month health check as it’s difficult to sex them visually.“Since the day Louie arrived they’ve been full of attitude, just like their mum,” keeper Gemma Asser was quoted as saying in a Zoos SA press release. “They stomp their feet and rattle their tail to make sure us keepers and Oliver know who’s boss.“Louie also enjoys zoomies in the den with Mum and Dad needing to get out of the way but not for too long … Louie is extremely attached to Dad and follows him everywhere.“While dad Oliver is a laid-back character with sleek quills, mum, Rita, is ‘large and in charge’. But while their personalities differ there is one thing that definitely bonds the family and that is their love of sweet potato,” Asser added.Fortunately for Louie’s mom, Cape porcupines are born with soft quills that harden as they age.The Cape porcupine is the largest rodent in Africa and the largest porcupine in the world. They are found all across southern, central, and eastern Africa, and, although hunting has reduced the population in some areas, their numbers remain stable, according to Africa Geographic.
