Yesterday

3-3

“Harris hit an unbelievable lunging 47-footer at the horn and the Nets snapped a season-high five-game losing streak with a 98-96 victory over the slumping 76ers on Monday night.”

That was the difference between 4-2 and 3-3 yesterday, of course MMR was on the wrong end of it.  Oh well, I didn’t personally take the game so who cares.
