What. A. Game.
Matched up with the feisty Sacramento Kings, the Brooklyn Nets came into Tuesday’s game looking to break a three-game losing streak. After falling short during the first trio of games during their seven-game road trip, the Nets needed a big statement victory.
For the first quarter of this game, a statement victory seemed to be the last thing on the players’ minds.
Brooklyn put together one its worst defensive performances in recent memory to start off this game and allowed nearly 40 points in the first quarter. For a team that has been one of the better defensive teams (according to defensive rating) since the All-Star break, the complete and utter lack of focus was certainly discouraging.
