"Mired in their worst slump since they opened the season with seven consecutive losses, the Brooklyn Nets refused to go down without a fight in Phoenix on Tuesday night. They went down anyway. Brooklyn suffered its sixth straight defeat in a 106-102 decision to the Phoenix Suns in a game that featured a late melee in front of 17,071 fans at the Mortgage Matchup Center."
"Brooklyn, which fell to 2-13 this month and has dropped 14 of 16 overall dating to late December, trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half and 11 in the fourth quarter. Spearheaded by All-Star worthy Michael Porter Jr., they refused to relent. The Nets' leading scorer rebounded from his lowest output of the campaign, a paltry nine points in Los Angeles on Sunday, by pouring in a season-high 36 on 15-of-24 shooting, including a 6-for-10 effort from beyond the arc."
