Nets topple shorthanded Bucks as impressive offense erupts in late run
NY Post
MILWAUKEE — Maybe the Nets got a new offense for the holidays.
Brooklyn seemed destined for another offensively challenged loss.
That is until they turned destiny around with a 111-105 come-from-behind win over a shorthanded Milwaukee team missing stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard at Fiserv Forum on Thursday night.
Cam Johnson poured in 29 points, including a dagger 3-pointer in a late 17-5 run that turned a five-point deficit into a shocking victory.
Second-year big man Noah Clowney continued his breakout, adding 20 points, four rebounds and a career-best 6-for-8 from 3-point range.
Brooklyn trailed 97-92 after a Khris Middleton free throw before seizing the game.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
