Depleted, they fell just short in Brooklyn.
The Nets were defeated by the Nuggets at home Wednesday night, losing 124-118. With the loss, Brooklyn ends their two-game homestand with an 0-2 record while falling one game below .500 at Barclays Center (12-13).
The depleted Nets were without their entire “Big Three” Wednesday night, but did their best to steal one at home. They hit the road for a five-game West Coast swing beginning Saturday.
Cam Thomas led the Nets with a team — and career-high 25 points (8-of-14 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 shooting from 3-point range) in 26 minutes off the bench.
