The league’s worst slump rolls on.
The Nets concluded their five-game road trip with no wins, losing to the Nuggets in Denver Sunday afternoon, 124-104. With their eighth-straight defeat (league-high), Brooklyn stands at 29-26 on the season and for the first time since 2008, ends a five-game trip winless.
It was a tale of two halves, and one quarter that sucked the rope away and left a large mountain to climb for Brooklyn with little help.
Kyrie Irving ended the defeat with his first double-double of the season — game-high 27 points (10-of-26 shooting from the field and 4-of-12 shooting from 3-point range), 11 assists, five boards, a steal and three blocks in 31 minutes of play.
