Juventus reach Coppa Italia final despite losing on the night to Lazio
New York, February 26: Steve Nash believes the Brooklyn Nets' improvement has come thanks to their growing connection and better defense.
The Nets extended their winning streak to eight games with a 129-92 thrashing of the Orlando Magic in the NBA on Thursday (February 25).
Nash said the Nets' growth was down to their improved defense and connectivity.
"A big part of it is our group's bonding, they're growing together, they're starting to feel success and roles are shoring up and you can sense it out there," the Nets head coach told a news conference.
"They're having more fun, they're connected offensively and defensively, they have a lot more poise together, that collective experience while we're still a new group is starting to come through.
"That as much as the improvement defensively, understanding defensively and the fact that we realise defense is a weak spot for us, they're locked in, they're focused and for the most part they're working at their defense, so those two things for me are the most important."

Kyrie Irving top-scored for the Nets against Orlando with 27 points, while James Harden (20), Landry Shamet (19), Joe Harris (14), Bruce Brown Jr. (14) and Nicolas Claxton (10) also had double-digit points.
The Nets got past the Magic despite a slow start, recovering after being 27-17 behind in the first quarter.
"We just tightened up, we relaxed a little, started to find ourselves and most importantly we picked up our defense," Nash said.
"It was one of those nights where they couldn't make a shot after the first segment of the game, but at the same time I thought we handled business, increased our intensity and our decision making on defense improved and we were pretty solid."
