Ouch, the losing streak continues for the Brooklyn Nets. But, looks can be deceiving, especially with the final score. The game began with some highlights for the Nets, who got off to an early 8-3 lead with a three apiece from DeMarre Carroll and Allen Crabbe. A block party also ensued, with Crabbe and Jarrett […]
Nets outlasted by Rockets as Harden goes for 36
Run the court. Make the shot. Run the court. Make the shot. This was the pace set early in Tuesday night’s matchup between the Rockets and Nets, two teams have very similar styles. Both squads like to push the pace, take advantage and shoot threes, but the Rockets were more successful on Tuesday in a […]
Nets outmatched by Bucks in Super Sunday loss
The Nets came out the gate struggling. Kenny Atkinson called a timeout at the 10:29 mark in the first quarter after the Bucks went on a short but strong 6-0 run. Brooklyn started to look a bit better for a short stretch, but the Bucks were in firm control for most of the quarter. They […]
Nets lose to Brook Lopez and Lakers in see-saw contest
Friday night’s Nets-Lakers matchup was highlighted by the return of Brook Lopez. Heading into the game, Lopez reminisced on his time in Brooklyn (and New Jersey), thankful for the people he met in the near-decade as a Net.

Nets snap losing streak and survive against the Sixers
The Nets headed into Wednesday’s home matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers on a four-game losing streak, the longest of the season.

Knicks complete historic series sweep of Nets
The Nets have not yet hit the All-Star break, but they can still check off being on the bad end of a four-game series sweep to none other than the New York Knicks. Behind a dominant 28 points from Kristaps Porzingis and 20 points and 20 rebounds from Enes Kanter, the Nets fell to Knicks […]
Atkinson gets ejected as Nets suffer second straight loss
If the Nets are anything, they’re consistent – they followed up a 26-point second quarter deficit on Friday against the Bucks with another one against the Timberwolves Saturday. Brooklyn scored just 11 points in the first quarter compared to Minnesota’s 30. It was bad. To the Nets’ credit, they were undermanned. Both Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and […]
Greek Freak dominates Nets in wire-to-wire victory
Can they do it? That’s the question I asked myself as the Nets inched closer to tie the game as the second half carried on. A 26-point deficit turned into 23, then 15, then 13, then nine. A third quarter where Brooklyn’s bench stepped up was what gave the team a shot. In a game […]
Late shot from Westbrook edges Nets on road
The fourth quarter was a gut check. Oklahoma City started to drain threes after making just two through the first three quarters, including two from surprise contributor Raymond Felton. After the Nets led by as many as 15 points, the Thunder surged to tie the game at 95 with under seven minutes to go. Then, […]
Dinwiddie delivers game-winner for second straight victory
DINWIDDIE WITH THE DINWINNER! The Nets have won two straight games for the first time since Jan. 3, and they did it by beating a team that blew them out of the water just six games ago. Thanks to big performances from Spencer Dinwiddie and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, and a nail-biting game-winner, Brooklyn defeated the Detroit […]
Nets dominate down stretch to notch comeback win over Heat
A tie game with two minutes to go – have the Nets been here before? It was a familiar sight, but the result was something Brooklyn has not seen at home in five games and three overall – a win. More than that, it was a come-from-behind win, 101-95, against a Miami Heat team that […]
LaMarcus Alridge, Patty Mills crush Nets in third straight loss
The number three was the theme of the night for Brooklyn: three straight losses; third-quarter meltdown; Patty Mills’ 7-of-8 performance from three. In what was a competitive game for the first two quarters, a third quarter where the Nets were out-scored 25-18 ultimately put Brooklyn in too deep a hole as they lost to the San […]
