The slump continues for Brooklyn.
The Nets dropped their fifth-straight loss, losing to the Suns, 121-111. With the defeat, Brooklyn have lost 12 of their last 18, falling further down the Eastern Conference standings with an overall record of 29-21. On a night filled with questionable calls and burning Suns’ responses, it was another loss but a loss that had its share of improvements, at least in the eyes of the head coach’s eyes as the team continues to weather a heavy storm of injuries and other issues.
Kyrie Irving led the Nets with a team-high 26 points on 10-of-20 shooting from the field and 3-of-8 shooting from 3-point range.
