The close losses might hurt the most. The Brooklyn Nets ha a chance to get a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They had their chances, but couldn’t get over the hump and suffered another tough home defeat. At 17-27, the season is slipping away fast.
The opponent tonight is trying to keep things heading in the right direction. The Houston Rockets have been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NBA and have a pretty bright future. Of course, their brightness is helped in large part by the Nets’ darkness, but those are the breaks!
