“#Nets drop Clippers to cap franchise’s best road trip<\/a> ever<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The best roster the Nets have ever assembled just rolled to the best road trip they\u2019ve ever enjoyed.<\/p>\n

Five up, five down and a perfect West Coast swing \u2014 capp<\/a>ed by Sunday\u2019s 112-108 victory over the Clippers at Staples Center.<\/p>\n

Nets owner Joe Tsai \u2014 who has a home just south in tony La Jolla \u2014 was on hand to see firsthand the budding superteam his billions have built. It ran the Nets\u2019 winning streak to six, all but one of those coming on this breakthrough trip. The perfect 5-0 West Coast swing is the longest undefeated trip in team history.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn ran out to a 15-point third-quarter cushion before Kawhi Leonard (29 points) knotted it at 108-all with 28.6 seconds left. But DeAndre Jordan tipped in a missed 3 by Kyrie Irving with 11 seconds remaining in regulation. Two seconds later James Harden \u2014 renowned for his offense \u2014 made the game<\/a>-saving play on the other end. Defending Leonard, the Clippers star was called for a push-off and offensive foul.<\/p>\n

Harden (37 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists) sank both free throws with seven seconds left to ice it. Kyrie Irving added 28 points and eight assists.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning is always the best medicine for everything,\u201d Steve Nash said. \u201cBut more importantly, our team has come together, played well. We\u2019ve improved every game, we\u2019ve learned something about ourselves; so it was very productive in a lot of ways, not just in winning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played some good teams, we got some good challenges and we\u2019ve responded. So just to see them come together a little bit and for us to grow what we\u2019re trying to do, making small improvements, that\u2019s all we ask. They provided that on this trip, so it\u2019s been really positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Positive doesn\u2019t cover it.<\/p>\n

They went on the road and beat the Warriors, Kings, Suns, Lakers and now the Clippers, and earning all of those victories but the first without injured Kevin Durant.<\/p>\n

But despite giving up 34 points to Paul George, their defense has come together, their bench has come around and most of all Harden has looked like an MVP, making everybody better.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest thing is they know they\u2019re going to get opportunities. They know he\u2019s very unselfish, he\u2019s got great vision and he\u2019s going to manipulate the defense,\u201d Nash said. \u201cIt gives them confidence they\u2019re going to get looks; that gives you life.<\/p>\n
