The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Denver Nuggets, 105-102, at Barclays Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Nets (13-10) and the Nuggets (14-7) engaged in quite a battle in Sunday's early game, as things were back-and-forth until the very last play of regulation. Brooklyn jumped to a 25-21 lead in the first quarter, but Denver erased it an grabbed a one-point lead at the break following a 33-28 second quarter score. The Nets were once again on top following the third quarter following a 29-23 score over that 12-minute span, and as a result, they were up by one point entering the final quarter of the contest. Denver and Brooklyn traded buckets in the final quarter, but the Nets came through when it mattered the most. Will Barton missed a floater when Denver was down by one and, after a foul, Taurean Prince made two clutch free throws to put the Nets up by three. A last-second three-pointer from Jamal Murray went wide off the mark, and the Nets sealed a huge win in front of their fans.
