The Nets, mired in a losing skid, have been frustrated and lacking confidence. The gut-punch they took Friday isn’t going to make that any better.
The Nets’ 131-125 double overtime defeat to the Grizzlies at Barclays Center marked their fifth straight loss. And while their end games have had more melodrama than a telenovela, it will be hard to top this one for opportunities lost and collapses committed.
A 10-point cushion in the fourth quarter gone. A seven-point lead with half a minute remaining in regulation flushed.
