It’s actually impressive how the Nets found a way to lose this game.
They led by 23 in the second quarter. They led by 23 late in the third quarter. Then it all went downhill, as they watched Dwight Howard absolutely chew them up inside, finishing the night with 32 points and 30 rebounds.
They failed to hit a shot in the final 4:11 of the fourth, losing to Charlotte, 111-105, Wednesday night in Brooklyn.
The Nets missed 13 of 15 shots bridging from the third to fourth quarter and saw the 23-point lead turn into a six-point lead.
