What did you expect? It’s the Spurs ... and to make matters worse, Gregg Popovich had just reamed out his team for sloppy effort.
So the Nets went down, 130-101, for their 16th loss against six wins. There was little to recommend the game, other than the debut of Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert’s first points.
As Sean Kilpatrick said post-game, the Nets need to move on. And so they will, traveling Sunday from San Antonio to the Houston and the Rockets. James Harden’s team —and it is James Harden’s team now— have won six straight, including wins over the Warriors, Celtics and Thunder.
