"Monday's 113-105 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center marked the Nets' fourth straight defeat, dropping them to 11-26 and extending a slide that has now reached seven losses in their last eight games. And for the second straight night, the Nets were undone by a slow start and late execution. Brooklyn was shorthanded again and it showed early."
"Porter, coming off one of his toughest shooting nights as a Net, briefly gave Brooklyn a spark by drilling his first 3-point attempt to put the Nets ahead 10-9. But that make was the lone bright spot from deep in the opening quarter. Brooklyn missed its next 10 shots from beyond the arc while the Mavericks found their rhythm, hitting seven of 11 from the field, with Klay Thompson and Jaden Hardy combining for six of them."
The Nets fell 113-105 to the Dallas Mavericks, marking their fourth consecutive loss and moving to 11-26 overall. Brooklyn started slowly and struggled with late execution, missing key rotation players and relying on Michael Porter Jr. in the starting lineup. Porter hit an early 3 but Brooklyn missed its next 10 attempts from deep, while the Mavericks shot efficiently, with Klay Thompson and Jaden Hardy combining for six early field-goals. Day'Ron Sharpe provided energy with a quick double-double, but Cooper Flagg scored 19 first-half points and Dallas maintained control through the opening half.
