Brooklyn interim coach P.J. Carlesimo thought the Nets were lucky to have been only down by seven points in the first half against the struggling Phoenix Suns, a team that had only won twice this season on the road.
During Avery Johnson's final days as the Nets coach, that likely would have turned into a rout by the opposition.
But Brooklyn, which shot only 41.9 percent during its sluggish first half Friday night and allowed the Suns to shoot 53.7 percent, managed to bounce back with a strong second half.
Joe Johnson scored 19 points and MarShon Brooks added 17 points off the bench, leading the Nets to their fifth straight victory, 99-79 over the Suns.
