Mikel Brown Jr. vows to learn from costly mistakes that spoiled his breakout Nets performance

With Mikel Brown Jr. and Egor Dëmin leading a pack of seven first-round draft picks the past two years, the Nets were always going to suffer growing pains. There was plenty of pain and suffering in Tuesday night’s heartbreaker in Boston . Brown, the No. 6 overall pick, had what should have been a breakout moment in a thrilling victory in Boston. He poured in 13 points in a fourth-quarter Nets comeback, including a clutch 3-pointer with three-tenths of a second left to force overtime.
