Historical Moments: 2012/13: The Nets were scheduled to make their Brooklyn debut on November 1st against the
New York Knicks. However, due to the lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy, which
had knocked many roads and the subway out of commission led to the game being
postponed. The Nets would face the Toronto Raptors two days later and win their
debut at Barclay's Center 107-100. The game against the Knicks would be rescheduled
for November 26th, with the Nets prevailing in overtime 96-89. The Nets
would play well in November 11-4, but in December the Nets play turned sour, as
they dropped 10 of their next 13 games, leading to the dismissal of Coach Avery
Johnson. He was replaced by P.J. Carlisemo on interim basis. |
