Shaun Livingston hails "huge" Brooklyn Nets

Shaun Livingston has said that the Brooklyn Nets' victory over the Miami Heat was "huge" for the team.

The Nets needed two overtimes to beat the defending NBA champions, before a late surge from the guard sealed a fifth win in a row for Brooklyn.

The 28-year-old told reporters: "It was huge. We've obviously been playing better as of late. I think our momentum that we were carrying into this game, we're trying to ride that wave."

Livingston finished the game with 19 points, 11 rebounds and four assists.
