Unlucky breaks and a very frustrating loss.
It wasn’t the way the Nets were hoping to conclude their four-game road trip, losing to the Timberwolves, 136-125. With the defeat, Brooklyn falls to 29-17 on the season and 17-6 on the road.
While the Nets were on the wrong side of unfortunate breaks, it was a lackluster defensive performance that stretched the entirety of the loss. Brooklyn gave up a season-high 72 points in the first half and 64 points in the second half.
“A bit of everything. I don’t know if we gave enough resistance. Weren’t into the body enough and didn’t feel like our will or our force was felt defensively,” said Steve Nash after the 136-125 loss to the Timberwolves in Minnesota.
