2:06Now PlayingSpreading love: It’s the Brooklynettes way.
As the Brooklyn Nets gear up to face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference playoffs Tuesday, the team’s all-female dance group is keeping the energy high — and rebounding from the pandemic.
“It wasn’t until very recently that we were like, ‘Wait, I think we are the only ones actually performing,’” Brooklynettes head coach Asha Singh told The Post.
“But coming back was just like running business as usual for us,” added Singh, 31. “Our level of excellence, our Brooklyn standard, has always been top-tier.”
The former team dancer-turned-drill instructor and her 20 hoofing hotties resumed in-person performances at the Barclays Center in February — nearly a year after the COVID-19 eruption placed them on an indefinite sabbatical.
When the NBA suspended its 2019-2020 season last March, it left the league’s 30 dance troupes — one for each team — out of work. Even when games resumed in July, with teams living and playing within a “bubble” in Orlando, Florida, the dancers weren’t included.
