BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Well, back to the losing.
The Nets enjoyed a two-game win streak, but the scorching hot Utah Jazz came in and put Brooklyn’s joy to an end, 118-107, Tuesday night at Barclays Center. Utah has won 10 straight games, while the Nets fell to 18-21. They’ve defeated Utah once in the last nine match-ups since Sean Marks and Kenny Atkinson took over.
Utah’s head coach Quin Snyder and Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson were assistant coaches together in Atlanta, and Snyder seems to always have the right defensive scheme against the Nets: Defend the perimeter.
