If the Nets make the playoffs, they will look back on March 13 as the turning point of their season.
The day before, in Miami, they folded in the second half and lost by an embarrassing 25 points to the Heat. It was their sixth defeat by 16 or more points in 10 games after the All-Star Game break.
Besides Coach Lawrence Frank, perhaps, few people would have given the Nets a realistic chance of making the playoffs. But since beating the Magic by 16 points in Orlando, the Nets have not lost a game.
