If you’re the Nets, you’ll take a two-point loss against the New Orleans Pelicans. You’ll take a six-point loss against the Golden State Warriors.
But a 19-point loss to the New York Knicks? Inexcusable. It was a final score of 115-96, Monday night at Madison Square Garden. The Nets and Knicks are both 2-5, as Brooklyn finds themselves in the midst of a three-game losing streak.
The one “excuse” the Nets have is that they played the second night of a back-to-back, third night in four days and fourth game in six days.
