NEW YORK (AP) – The Brooklyn Nets proved supreme in another showdown with one of the NBA’s worst teams.
Allen Crabbe and Caris LeVert each scored 22 points and the Nets beat the Memphis Grizzlies 118-115 on Monday night.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and DeMarre Carroll scored nine of his 18 points in the fourth quarter for the Nets, who have two straight wins for the first time since Jan. 19-21. They won Saturday over Dallas.
“He’s just a tough winner. It’s just who he is,” said Nets coach Kenny Atkinson of Carroll’s effort.
“He’s not a take-over-the-game guy. He does what it necessary to win a ballgame. I thought his will helped us.”
