0:00.0	The Brooklyn Nets do it with defense.
0:07.3	Okay, and some offense too.
0:08.9	The Philadelphia 76ers do it with defense.
0:11.7	Yep, mostly defense.
0:13.3	And Commissioner Adam Silver apologizes to Raptors President Maasai Ujiri.
0:18.1	Hey, I'm Tasmellas, and this is what you need to know in the NBA for Friday, February 26th.
0:27.7	I don't know if you can call the Brooklyn Nets the league's hottest team because the jazz are
0:31.9	so smoking hot over the last two months, but the Nets have won eight in a row.
0:36.7	That's the longest current winning streak after routing the Orlando Magic. The longest streak the Nets have

1:32.3	Much of the streak without Kevin Durant, he's missed the last six games with a hamstring
1:36.2	injury.
