NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets were struggling against an undermanned Chicago Bulls squad and trailed by as many as six points in the third quarter. Desperate to do something, interim Nets head coach P.J. Carlesimo turned to his bench and got solid performances from MarShon Brooks and Andray Blatche. Blatche had all 11 of his points in the fourth period and Brooks added nine of his 13, giving the Nets the much-needed boost to get past the Bulls, 93-89, Friday night at the Barclays Center.

Brooklyn lost, and LeBron didn’t want to say too much about Evans after the game, but he said just enough.

Go ahead, take a look at his numbers since Avery Johnson’s departure; they’re stellar. He’s 13-5 since taking over on December 27th. So there’s absolutely no reason for Nets fans to think this won’t continue for the remainder of the season spilling over into next year, right?
Hold up. And let me say this first, I personally love the way P.J. has been coaching this team...
