We’re back… with a loss.
The Nets picked off right where they left off, losing their eighth consecutive game and 12th in the last 13, 111-96, Thursday night at Charlotte. The Nets didn’t play bad but they failed to get over the hump all night .
Positive? Dante Cunningham kept them afloat all night and finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds, his first game in double figures with the Nets and a new season-high.
The start of games has become one of the biggest issues this season, so head coach Kenny Atkinson decided to tweak the lineup a bit – inserting D’Angelo Russell into the backcourt with Spencer Dinwiddie.
