It was sloppy. Ugly even, but the Nets youth corps ultimately made it bearable as they took advantage of yet another opportunity late. They didn’t save the day though. Final score (and it wasn’t that close) 76ers 115, Nets 104.
“Obviously we didn’t play well tonight but it happens. The guys have been great. Just look at this as a stepping stone. The guys finished the game pretty strong. Played well, played with a whole bunch of intensity, physicality and we know what we need to do. We know what we need to build and bounce back with practice,” Steve Nash said after the preseason defeat.
