The Brooklyn Nets look to capitalize on their potential against the Boston Celtics in the opening round of the NBA playoffs starting Sunday afternoon.
The man who identified alleged Brooklyn subway shooter Frank R. James on the street and alerted police officers of his presence is speaking out. Naveen Dhaliwal spoke to him.
The Celtics' defensive and offensive ratings were the best in the NBA after the All-Star break. They are just 11-10 without Williams, but trying to avoid Brooklyn was never a consideration. The seeds were reversed when these teams matched up in the first round of the playoffs last season. Led by Durant, Irving and Harden, the Nets took the series 4-1, overpowering a Celtics team that didn't have Jaylen Brown after a late-season hand injury.
