The Brooklyn Nets were staring at second-half collapses similar to the one that did them in during Sunday night's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. This time Joe Johnson and the Nets were able to stave off a late run by the Denver Nuggets and enter the All-Star break with two straight wins, despite playing without star point guard Deron Williams. Joe Johnson scored 26 points, including five 3-pointers, C.J Watson added 25 points and a career-high five 3s, and Brooklyn came away with a 119-108 victory on Wednesday night.
