As the Brooklyn Nets continue to dig deeper into the pit of this season, in the hopes of finding something at the bottom that makes it all worthwhile, all they keep finding is more mud, sand, rocks, and losses.
Storming into the Lone Star state on the heels of an ugly loss to the Indiana Pacers and a subsequent players only meeting, the blueprints for a bounce-back win, even if “bounce back” really was just code for “occasional” at this point, laid out before the Nets.
Brooklyn followed it largely during the first half. While they never led by more than 11 points, they still did so for almost the entire first half, nurturing some confidence that we might get a happy ending this time around.
