The chance was there Wednesday but the Nets just didn’t have enough to get across the finish line victorious.
Brooklyn went down the wire with the Philadelphia 76ers in what was a very chippy (and long!) game but ultimately fell short, losing 137-133. The Nets have now lost five of their seven total games while playing without Kevin Durant. Ultimately, giving up 75 points at halftime doomed the Nets in what was not one of their best defensive showings from the league’s sixth-best defense since Durant went down.
Seth Curry was the high man for the Nets in his revenge game after getting traded along with Ben Simmons from Philadelphia to Brooklyn a season ago for James Harden.
