The Brooklyn Nets will head to Florida for a second meeting against the Miami Heat during the ongoing NBA season.

Meanwhile, Kevin Durant scored a game-high 25 points and also grabbed 11 rebounds for the Nets on the night.The reason for Brooklyn's loss on October 27th came down to their poor defense. They had far more three-pointers than Miami and were still outscored by Jimmy Butler and company.Bleacher Report@BleacherReport"I've always got his back. ...
