Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett Help Nets Secure Victory in Return to Boston

Nets win again in homecoming for former Celtics.

It was a homecoming for Brooklyn's big free agent signings. Two-thirds of the original 'Big Three', Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, received a well-deserved heroes welcome in Boston Sunday night.

In the end, Pierce and Garnett not only received a loud ovation, but the two veterans helped continue to Nets hot streak and secured a 85-79 victory.

The vets themselves struggled a bit from the field, specifically Pierce who made just two of 10 shots. Nonetheless, the Nets improved to 20-22 on the season and have the most wins of any team in 2014.
