Nets players meet as Steve Nash criticizes team's 'desire'

NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets held a players-only meeting after Saturday night's 125-116 loss to the Indiana Pacers. It was the Nets' fourth straight loss and dropped them to 1-5 this season.

"It was a disaster," Nets coach Steve Nash said of the loss. "How else do you say it? I didn't see the will, didn't see the desire, or the connectivity necessary to get stops and get rebounds ... We just got to make a bigger commitment and it's got to mean more and we got to care more."

The Nets looked lifeless at times Saturday night as the undermanned Pacers, playing on the second night of a back-to-back, outworked and outhustled a Nets team that has struggled to find consistency all season.
