context_page_description: The 2013–14 Brooklyn Nets season was the franchise's 47th season, its 38th in the National Basketball Association, and its 2nd season playing in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
  After making the playoffs for the first time in six years during the 2012–13 season, the Nets had a busy off-season which featured the hiring of Jason Kidd as the head coach. The Nets also traded Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, and three future draft picks to the Celtics for all-stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, along with Jason Terry. These transactions led to the Nets having the largest payroll in the NBA, and high expectations heading into the season. Defeating the Raptors in 7 games would be the Nets most recent playoff series win as of the 2019–20 NBA season. However, in the Semifinals, the Nets would go on to lose to the defending two-time NBA champion Miami Heat in five games.
  Following the season, Paul Pierce signed with the Washington Wizards.
