NBA Playoffs: Brooklyn Nets playoff schedule

The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to take seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Here’s the team’s full playoff schedule against the Boston Celtics.

The Brooklyn Nets had the seventh-best record in the entire Eastern Conference, but that didn’t guarantee them a place in the NBA playoffs. Instead, they had to compete in the play-in tournament. In order to get a place in the playoffs as early as possible, the team had to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.

Brooklyn did just that as they defended a 115-108 win over Cleveland behind a 34-point double-double with 12 assists from Kyrie Irving. The Nets secured seventh place and now face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

For the Nets fans wondering what the full playoff schedule is for the team, we’ve got you covered.
