Following a historic win over Milwaukee on Monday, the Spurs looked to maintain their momentum against the Nets. While the good guys played a respectable game, Brooklyn’s offense was overwhelming, resulting in a 128-116 loss.
Both teams started the game on fire, combining to make five consecutive shots right after tipoff. The two sides traded baskets on each possession, which was highlighted by an absurd circus shot from Demar DeRozan. While the Nets continued to score, San Antonio’s offense sputtered. The good guys began missing easy looks and blowing wide-open layups and dunks. Meanwhile, Brooklyn stayed hot and went on a 13-0 run to build an early lead.
