EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -All the New Jersey Nets need in their final 12 games are two wins.
While it may sound like one of those no-brainer tasks for most teams, the Nets aren’t your ordinary team.
This is one looking to avoid the stigma of being the worst in NBA history.
New Jersey has won SEVEN times in 70 games. That’s a 7-63 record, or one victory in every 10 games.
Now the Nets have to win twice in the final 12 to avoid ending the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers’ 37-year stranglehold on the league’s worst mark at 9-73.
The situation has gotten so tense that the team’s chief executive got into a brief shouting match with a fan who wore a bag over his head at times during Monday night’s 99-89 loss to the Miami Heat.
