That Brooklyn team was not the same team in November when it lost to the Blazers. Now, the Nets are 4 1/2 games out of first place in the Atlantic Division. In their last game, which was a victory over the Lakers, marked the season-debut of Jason Collins. He became the first openly gay player in any of the four major U.S. sports. The 7-foot center picked up five fouls in 10 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 108-102 road win.
"I'm just trying to prioritize things. Basketball right now is a priority," Collins, who signed a 10-day contract Sunday told NBA.com. "Again, it's about the plays, our calls, trying to get comfortable with just what it is the Brooklyn Nets do on both ends of the court. Being big, using my size and strength, setting screens and going out there and hitting somebody on both ends of the court."
BA Senior Vice President Vicky Picca said Tuesday that Collins' No. 98 Brooklyn Nets uniform is the top-seller on NBA.com, surpassing all stars, including LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony.
"Jason Collins' return to the league represents a historic moment, and fans continue to show their support by (buying) Jason's jersey," Picca told CNN.
Damian Lillard, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year is averaging 30.5 points while hitting 50.0 percent from the field -- 12 of 27 from beyond the arc -- over the past four games. He totaled 31 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in a 100-95 win at Denver and his finger roll with 2:33 left gave the Trail Blazers a four-point lead as they fended off a rally from the Nuggets, according to ESPN.com.
"When you're in a situation like that, you've just got to find a way to get it done," Lillard said.
