Kyrie Irving was right about one thing: The Nets are a long way from being among the NBA’s best. And Saturday the league leaders showed just how far.
The Nets got battered, 117-97, by the Bucks before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Barclays Center.
The crowd included former president Bill Clinton, seated courtside. Clinton is friendly with Bucks co-owners Mark Lasry and Wes Edens, and had sat courtside for the Nets’ 19-point home loss to Milwaukee last Feb. 4. Saturday’s beating wasn’t any better.
Predictably, the shorthanded Nets (18-23) had no answer for MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo.
