Brooklyn owns NY's best record with gritty win over Grizzlies



 A New York basketball team was aiming to be top three in the Eastern Conference. Through eight games of the NBA season, that has been the case. 

The team that sits behind the 8-0 Cleveland Cavaliers and 7-1 Boston Celtics is a New York-based basketball team, but not the one that immediately comes to mind.  

The 3-3 Knicks, that have championship aspirations this year, are sitting behind the 4-4 third place Brooklyn Nets.

In Monday's 106-104 nailbiter over Memphis at Barclays Center, Cam Johnson and Dennis Schröder led the way with 20 points apiece, while Dorian Finney- Smith chipped in 17. 

Ja Morant and rookie Zach Edey paced the Grizzlies with 25 each. 

The Nets were playing without Ben Simmons who was resting in the second half of the back to back. 

Jordi Fernandez has the Nets playing with grit and tenacity. 

While the NBA season is young and less than ten percent complete, the emergence of the Brooklyn Nets as a quality basketball team is one of the surprising storylines so far this year.
