Deron Williams’ confidence is sky high and he’s taking the Brooklyn Nets along for the ride.
With the Nets’ winning streak in jeopardy, Williams scored 23 points, 11 in the final six minutes, to lead Brooklyn to a 104-99 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night.
The Nets were trailing 85-82 midway through the fourth quarter following Josh McRoberts’ dunk and free throw.
That’s when Williams took over.
He hit a driving layup with 6:00 left, then a 3-pointer on the next possession. He followed that with a steal and two free throws to give the Nets an 89-85 lead with 5:22 remaining.
The home team never trailed again in registering its 10th straight win at the Barclays Center.
