The Brooklyn Nets made a spectacular comeback in the waning moments of the fourth quarter but they were unable to dig themselves out of an early deficit as the home side dropped their 16th straight game at the Barclays Center and 14th straight overall in a 129-125 nail-biter against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Nets were […]

Nets force overtime, but come up short against Bradley Beal’s 31 points
On the eve before a major snowstorm hits New York, it was Bradley Beal’s flurry of 31 points that lifted the visiting Wizards to a 114-110 in overtime. The Washington Wizards, who went from hopeless, restless, and hurting to near the peak of the Eastern Conference in just a few weeks time, came out slowly following […]
Nets make it interesting, but can’t pull away in final seconds against Hornets
After a day off from games and practice, there was hope that this Brooklyn Nets squad might finally put up the effort it needs to secure a win. With a slow start, that hope went downhill. A fourth quarter comeback that brought the Nets within two had some excitement and grit, but Brooklyn couldn’t come […]
Careless Nets get eaten alive by the carnivorous Raptors
For many, this day is holy, but to others, it’s just another chance for the Brooklyn Nets to finally reach that elusive double-digit win total. In fact, this game might have been more important than the Super Bowl for their foes, the Toronto Raptors, who have sunk like a rock in the competitive Eastern Conference. […]
Nets keep it close but can’t convert in 11th straight home loss
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Nets fell behind early, came back in the fourth, but were unable to convert down the stretch — or, aka, the Brooklyn Nets story. Brooklyn never lead until the fourth quarter and their biggest lead all night was just two points. Jeff Teague scored 22 points as […]
Promise, optimism, and another late-game loss for Nets against rival Knicks
Obviously, the Brooklyn Nets-New York Knicks matchup has lost some of its recent appeal, but when you’re still searching for your tenth win of the season, defeating your lone rival still holds some serious weight. Last week, head coach Kenny Atkinson threatened to make lineup changes and tonight find made them — swapping in youngsters Rondae […]
Party on Waiters Island and the Nets weren’t invited
Just under a week after Dion Waiters sucked the air out of the Barclays Center with his second-straight game-winner, the Brooklyn Nets made the trip to South Beach to take on Waiters, Hassan Whiteside, and the Miami Heat. Miami came in as winners of seven-straight games, with two of those coming from cold-blooded threes off […]
No Contest: LaVine, Towns, and Wiggins combine for 80 points, freeze out the Nets
The Brooklyn Nets, who intentionally rested three of their best players ahead of their ritualistic sacrifice at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers in hopes of competing better against the also-lowly (but in the hunt) Minnesota Timberwolves, quickly abandoned their stringent offense in favor of some inspired improvisation. And, as strange as it sounds, it saved […]
For Nets, death comes slowly, painfully
The Brooklyn Nets are in an unfortunate position, one that is exacerbated on nights like this. Even at full strength, the Nets can’t be expected to hang with a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers, particularly so when they’re missing Jeremy Lin, Joe Harris, Caris LeVert, Trevor Booker, and Brook Lopez. This also lends itself to the never-ending […]
Nets blow 18-point lead against Heat, break thousands of hearts into a thousand little pieces
With the Brooklyn Nets well out of playoff contention and their starting lineup getting further shuffled by the game, there’s a distinct necessity to focus in on the so-called “winnable” matchups. Tonight against the Miami Heat, even with their four-game winning streak and recent buzzer-beating win on Monday, this certainly qualified as a game the Nets […]
No Leonard, no problem: Nets gets steamrolled by Spurs
On a night when everybody and their mothers were sitting out — Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Pau Gasol, Jeremy Lin, Joe Harris, Caris LeVert — it was was a cavalcade of bench units on display in Brooklyn. If it weren’t for LaMarcus Aldridge and Gregg Popovich, you might even think the Brooklyn Nets […]
