Winners of the Bucks tonight, the Nets also managed to seal a great performance in front of a prestigious crowd. A certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic was thus in the room to follow the match, and we especially saw him next to Kyrie Irving after the final whistle.
No need to beat the bush: No other franchise is as bad as the Nets right now. Jacques Vaughn’s men thus remain on eight consecutive victories, which allow them to play leading roles in the Eastern Conference (21 wins for 12 defeats, 4th). The New York superteam obviously digested Steve Nash’s exemption perfectly, to the point of developing a rather impressive cruising speed.
Yesterday evening opposite Milwaukee, but ahead of them in the standings (22-10, 2nd in the East), it was in fact the black and whites who won and largely tied, signing a 118-100 victory on the floor of the Barclays Center. The timing couldn’t be more impeccable, as they were entitled to a distinguished guest for the meeting. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was then passing through Brooklyn, notably sharing a moment with Kyrie Irving :

The hug between the two superstars took place after the final whistle, and we can say that for Uncle Drew it was deserved. Very awkward during the first three quarters, the 2016 champion however took it upon himself to definitively bury the Bucks. In the last 12 minutes he simply scored 14 points, proving simply untenable for the Wisconsin defense that could do nothing.

Passing by the Barclays Center, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not disappointed as he witnessed a remarkable performance by the Nets. Already in excellent form lately, the bianconeri can now capitalize on this victory against one of their main opponents as well.
