Brooklyn couldn't close out the home win.
In an admirable effort to replicate their Oct. 27 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, the Brooklyn Nets fell 118-113 in the rematch at the Barclays Center despite a season-high 34 points from Dennis Schröder.
Once Brooklyn finally took the lid off the basket, a balanced offensive attack consisting of Schröder, Shake Milton and Nic Claxton cut Milwaukee's lead to just two. Building on his seven points in the early going, Schröder rattled in circus and-one mid-range jumpers and deep three-pointers to add another 11 to the scoreboard.
A 13-3 run, largely built by Portis alone, in the game's waning moments all but secured a win for the visitors.
