NEW YORK (AP) — D'Angelo Russell credits Brooklyn coach Kenny Atkinson for giving him an extra push this season.

A night after being benched for the entire fourth quarter during a tough loss at Boston, the Nets point guard stepped up with an impressive second-half performance.

Russell scored 24 of his 30 points over the final two quarters, Shabazz Napier had 24 off the bench and the Nets beat the Chicago Bulls 122-117 on Tuesday night for their ninth straight win at home.

NEW YORK (AP) — D'Angelo Russell had 22 points and a career high-tying 13 assists against his former team, and the Brooklyn Nets ran the NBA's longest winning streak to six games by beating the Los Angeles Lakers 115-110 on Tuesday night.

Joe Harris added 19 points and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 18 for the Nets, who last won six in a row from March 25 to April 3, 2015. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson finished with 17 points and Jared Dudley made some big baskets down the stretch to score 13.

NEW YORK (AP) — Brooklyn coach Kenny Atkinson watched the Nets let a 21-point lead slip to two and was reminded of the offensive flaws that sent the team spiraling on an eight-game skid a few weeks ago.

Needing a spark on the offensive end, Atkinson made sure D'Angelo Russell led the way.

Russell scored 32 points, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 18 and the Nets beat the Atlanta Hawks 144-127 on Sunday for their fifth straight win.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kenny Atkinson and the Brooklyn Nets are feeling a sense of satisfaction. Two wins in 24 hours will do that.

Spencer Dinwiddie scored 25 points and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 20 to lead the Nets to a 112-104 win over the New York Knicks on Saturday night.

"My Sunday will be a heck of a lot better," Atkinson said. "We call it a 'Q of L' win. Quality of life win. We feel a little bit better and everything tastes a little better."

NEW YORK (AP) — D'Angelo Russell snapped out of a slump with 13 of his 21 points in the second half, and the Brooklyn Nets kept the sloppy Philadelphia 76ers winless on the road with a 122-97 victory on Sunday night.

MIAMI (AP) — On the court, it was a bad night for the Miami Heat.

And postgame, it got worse.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 20 points, Caris Levert scored to put Brooklyn up for good with about a half-minute left in overtime, and the Nets beat the Heat 110-109 on Saturday night — a game where Dwyane Wade thought he got fouled on the final shot of the night, and followed by Miami center Hassan Whiteside complaining about how little he played.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The season may be dragging for some teams at the bottom of the NBA standings, though the Brooklyn Nets are making the most of it.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets proved supreme in another showdown with one of the NBA's worst teams.

Drummond scored 22 points and grabbed 20 rebounds, Harris had 22 points, and the Pistons beat the Nets 114-80 on Wednesday night.

"I'm not a real creative offensive guy, as you guys all know," Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy joked after the game. "If we find something that's working, I tend to just keep going to it. Tobias got off to a great start. I thought Andre Drummond was outstanding all night."

NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets had heard enough about not being able to win on the second night of back-to-back games.

Allen Crabbe was tired of hearing his defensive approach questioned.

With the game on the line late in the fourth quarter on Monday night, they collectively answered.

Rookie Jarrett Allen had a career-high 16 points, Crabbe added 15 points and blocked a potential tying shot, and the Nets edged the Orlando Magic 98-95.

NEW YORK (AP) — One of the NBA's best backcourts sure didn't play that way.

And with John Wall and Bradley Beal shut down, the Brooklyn Nets led the Washington Wizards by as many as 40 points in a 119-84 victory on Friday night.

Wall scored 10 points and Beal had only four as the pair combined to miss 20 of its 26 shots.

NEW YORK (AP) — Brooklyn coach Kenny Atkinson asked before facing the Knicks if anyone knew how to stop Kristaps Porzingis.

The Nets never really did, and they couldn't beat New York even after the star forward was injured.

Courtney Lee scored 18 of his 27 points in the second half, Michael Beasley added 15, and the Knicks held on to beat the Nets 111-104 on Thursday night after Porzingis left the game due to a sore left knee early in the second half.

NEW YORK (AP) — Allen Crabbe had missed his last six 3-point attempts when he had another shot with the game on the line. A 40 percent career 3-point shooter, he just shrugged at his previous failures and let another one go that proved to be decisive.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Playing short-handed because of injuries and a trade, the Brooklyn Nets found a way to hold off Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It was a nice little start to their stay in Mexico.

Caris Levert scored 21 points, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 17 and Brooklyn overcame another strong performance by Westbrook to beat Oklahoma City 100-95 on Thursday night in the first of the Nets' two games in Mexico City.

Westbrook had 31 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

ATLANTA (AP) — With his team headed to Mexico City for two games this week, Caris LeVert knew the Brooklyn Nets couldn't afford a second straight poor outing against the Atlanta Hawks.

"We feel like we let one get away at home against these guys," he said. "We wanted to come in and play super hard tonight. I think that gives us great momentum going into Mexico."

NEW YORK (AP) — After getting a pep talk from his coach, Jamal Murray came through with a big game for the Denver Nuggets.
