The Brooklyn Nets gave themselves a much-needed boost in the playoff race by beating one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. The Nets will also try to match their longest win streak of the season Sunday at the expense of the lowly Los Angeles Lakers. Bojan Bogdanovic, Jarrett Jack and Joe Johnson each had seven fourth-quarter points to help the Nets pull away. "It's definitely satisfying to be able to take care of business at home,'' point guard Deron Williams told the team's official website.
