Caris LeVert scored a game-high 34 points, including 12 at a crucial juncture in the fourth quarter, to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 118-110 win over the Washington Wizards in the NBA restart on Sunday
, a result that has implications on the East's playoff cast.
Brooklyn is currently at 8th place in the East with a 31-35 record, while Washington , trying to chase a play-in appearance, fell further down the standings. Brooklyn's win over the Wizards puts them 7 games up. Wiz would have to get within 4 to force the play-in, but seems unlikely they'll win 3 of their last 6, even if Nets lose every remaining game themselves.Two baskets by LeVert broke a 100-all score before he made 4-of-5 free throws to put the Nets ahead 110-102 going into the final 2 minutes.
Thomas Bryant finished with 30 points and 13 rebounds, while Troy Brown Jr. flirted with a triple-double for the Wizards, who are missing key players in the restart, similar to the Nets.
