NEW ORLEANS –- When you’re having the type of season the Nets are, games like last night are the type of games you lose.

The Nets were down so many times, looked beaten so many times – especially after not getting up in the prior two blowout losses. But the Nets kept getting back up against Chris Paul and the Hornets.

Down nine in the first quarter, down 14 in the second, down 15 in the third, you thought it was over. Down 10 with under two minutes left, the Nets seemed well on their way to loss 33 in 36 games.

But the Nets kept fighting, kept coming back at New Orleans, seemingly got every break they needed to secure an unimaginable win. But the last two breaks went the Hornets way, as did the game, 103-99.

“This one was definitely a dagger,” said Courtney
