Nets Given Humbling Message by the Heat

For the better part of five weeks, the Nets evolved. They focused a bit harder, reached a bit higher, listened more intently and became a better version of themselves. But evolution is a squiggly line,nike elite nfl Jerseys cheap not a straight path, and that path just got momentarily obliterated by a team that needs no growth or introspection.

The blow from the Miami Heat on Wednesday was so forceful, it might have knocked the Nets right back into December.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, two fully evolved N.B.A. superstars, led the charge, putting together another highlight reel of flying dunks while leading the Heat to a 105-85 rout at Barclays Center.

James put up 24 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Wade added 21 points. And the Heat hardly broke a sweat after putting the game away with a 36-14 third quarter. Miami swept the season series, 3-0, and cheap jerseys usa served up a timely reminder that the Nets (27-19) still have some growing to do.

The loss ended the Nets’ eight-game home winning streak and left them four games behind the East-leading Heat (29-13). It was the Nets’ third loss in four games, all of them by double digits — the first true slump since P. J. Carlesimo became head coach.

Brook Lopez, who was named to the All-Star Cheap Jerseys team earlier in the day, led the Nets with 21 points and 7 rebounds. Everyone else struggled, with Joe Johnson and Deron Williams combining to go 8 for 24 from the field.
