NBA: Sacramento Kings at Brooklyn Nets
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Caris LeVert scored 22 points, Jarrett Allen added 17 points and 11 rebounds and the patchwork Brooklyn Nets clinched a playoff berth by beating the Sacramento Kings 119-106 on Friday. The surprising Nets came to the bubble without stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving but continued to display plenty of fight, improving to 3-2 since coming to Florida. The Nets led by 16 points in the third quarter before the Kings rallied to pull within an 80-76 margin a few minutes later. Brooklyn recovered and had a comfortable lead throughout the fourth. Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 27 points for the Kings.
