Brooklyn basketballers (4)

I believe the answer is:

nets

(Other definitions for nets that I've seen before include "(Period for) cricket practice" , "'Traps for 29 dn, say (4)'" , "bags" , "Cricket practice venue" , "Meshes to catch fish, say" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and The Wall Street Journal.
