Second-half adjustments on defense allowed the Nets to escape American Airlines Center with a 113-109 win on Monday.
We're still showing that we want to play and want to win and want to be here,
after giving up 63 points in the paint in the first half, the Nets surrendered just 24 over the final two quarters.
I think our defense in the second half, allowing 46 points, that's the way you find ways to win.
