Heartbreaker.
Brooklyn dropped its eleventh-straight game with a loss against the Miami Heat on Saturday, 115-111, at FTX Arena. Brooklyn drops to 29-27 on the season, 7.5 games behind first in the Eastern Conference, and eighth in the East overall. Brooklyn also falls to 2-0 against the #1 seeded Miami Heat on the season.
Brooklyn was without two of its newcomers, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond, and missing a bevy of crucial players — Kevin Durant, Joe Harris, and LaMarcus Aldridge, just to name a few — yet put up an inspiring fight. After falling behind by as many as 21 points, the Nets clawed back to shrink the deficit to just one before eventually falling short.
