The first three games of the season provided a mixed bag of outcomes for the Brooklyn Nets, ranging from a blowout in Milwaukee, an impressive game-ending run to win in Philadelphia and a complete collapse in the second half of their home opener against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Nets responded nicely Monday against the Washington Wizards with their most complete showing of the young season and hope to follow it up with another strong outing Wednesday night when they host the Miami Heat, who are among the league's top defenses in the early going.

Brooklyn is facing the Heat after getting a 104-90 win in a game where they led by 18 after the first quarter and 25 early in the second quarter and were never seriously threatened. That occurred a day after they were outscored 61-37 following halftime in a 16-point loss to the Hornets.
