Brooklyn coach Lionel Hollins gave serious consideration to benching his entire starting five going into the second half, then made a last-second decision to simply use Wayne Ellington and Shane Larkin as his backcourt to open the third quarter instead.
Brilliant.
"It turned out to be enough," Hollins said.
Ellington tied a career best with seven 3-pointers -- done twice now, both against Miami -- on his way to scoring 26 points, Brook Lopez had 26 points and 12 rebounds and the Nets rallied from 16 points down in the third quarter to beat the Heat 111-105 on Monday night.
