The losing streak without Kevin Durant continues.
Despite shooting 52.4% from the field and 42.3% from three as a team, the Nets lost their fourth consecutive game, this one to the Phoenix Suns, 117-112, who were without Chris Paul and Devin Booker, having lost three straight.
It was also the third-straight game the Nets have lost to a below-.500 opponent and now face an upcoming slate of the Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, and Philadelphia 76ers in their next three games. In short, things could pretty ugly for Brooklyn as it attempts to play without its MVP-caliber forward.
