"Brooklyn got throttled 138-100 at home by the visiting Pistons before a sellout crowd of 17,548 at Barclays Center. The Nets had pulled off the fifth-biggest comeback in team history Sunday, rallying from 23 points down to win in Detroit. Then they started a fairly strong, big lineup in Monday's Pyrrhic victory over a shamelessly-tanking Memphis team that fielded just eight players."
"On Tuesday, Brooklyn played without Egor Demin, Day'Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams. The Nets played their starters for limited minutes. And they got blown out, trailing by as much as 43 and never having a chance. The Nets fell to 17-48, and are fourth in the lottery standings, keeping pace ½ game behind third-place Washington."
"Nets starters Nic Claxton and Nolan Traore combined for just four points on 1-of-8 shooting. They coughed up 56.5 percent shooting and 16-of-32 from 3-point range, getting torn up defensively. Demin was out, shelved for the season with plantar fasciitis. Sharpe was out with a sprained left thumb, and Ziaire Williams was sidelined with an illness."
