NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets (23-49) were hoping to wash off the disappointment of their 3-game road trip that saw them lose every game that they played, including some very winnable games in Indiana. With Anthony Davis and the Dallas Mavericks (35-37) coming to town, Brooklyn had an opportunity to end their losing streak, but it looks like they forgot to show up.
The Nets lost to the Mavericks 120-101 in a game in which it looked like Brooklyn never recovered from their slow start that saw them trail by 15 points in a hurry.
