The Brooklyn Nets dropped their fifth-straight game in a row Thursday night, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers, 128-113.
After the game, Kenny Atkinson commented on his team’s current placement in the NBA’s hierarchy.
According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, here’s what he had to say:
“We’re not an elite team, I can tell you that,” coach Kenny Atkinson admitted. “We obviously went through a tough stretch and we’re surviving right now.”
Currently sitting at 18-25, losers of five-straight and 12 of 14 overall, it would be hard to refute Atkinson’s statement right now.
