It was more hard work than work of art, but the Nets survived to win their third straight.
But the Nets and Mikal Bridges gutted out a 111-110 victory over Utah before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Barclays Center.
They lead the seventh-place Miami Heat by two full games — and the head-to-head tiebreaker — for the sixth and final guaranteed playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. “I just look at has Mikal been able to improve as a player? Yes. On both ends of the floor? Yes. Can he still get better? Yes,” Jacque Vaughn said. “There’s some things he’s doing more than he’s previously done, which is improvement. We want to continue to see his improvement. … How much improvement he’s made, I’m not sure; but he can get better and he has gotten better.”Meanwhile, Bridges topped 30 for the third time in four games.
