Brook Lopez, who had a rough night offensively, tries to stop Steph Curry during the Nets' 112-95 loss to the Warriors on Saturday night.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Coach Kenny Atkinson admitted his Nets had lost their way defensively. But against offensive juggernaut Golden State, it wasn’t their defense that cost them, but Brook Lopez’s offense.
After getting shredded defensively in Friday’s 112-95 blowout loss at Denver, the Nets at least were competitive a day later against the NBA’s best team. But a horrid offensive performance from Lopez and a terrible end to the first half cost Brooklyn in a loss to the Warriors at Oracle Arena.
