Paul Pierce has said that the Brooklyn Nets have shown "consistency" in recent weeks.
The Nets have lost just one of their nine games so far in 2014, including a 101-90 win over the Orlando Magic last night, bringing them back into the playoff race.
The forward told reporters: "It's a sign that we're showing consistency with what we're trying to do around here.
"We're not only winning, but we're pretty convincingly turning it on in the third quarter with the defense, the way we're moving the ball.
"That's what we want. That's all he wants out of us, night in, night out, a consistent effort. That's what we're trying to do especially in back-to-backs."
The Nets host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.
