Nets blow another 76ers opportunity with Kyrie Irving out
Error 0:
Monday’s rematch with the Sixers went the same way the Nets’ previous meeting had five days earlier in Philadelphia.
The Nets were good for three quarters. The Sixers were great for one — the one that mattered. And in the end, the Nets suffered a 117-111 loss at Barclays Center, opening the second half of the season the same way they ended the first.
The Nets had taken a lead into the fourth quarter Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center before getting outscored 31-16 in a crushing defeat. This time around, they surrendered a 13-0 run that spanned the third and the fourth, watching a nine-point cushion turn into a six-point deficit they never recovered from.
