"It was the most points the Nets had allowed all season. So was the 66.7 percent shooting they conceded. So were the misprint-like 64.7 percent from deep, Boston hitting 22-of-34 from 3-point range. The Nets watched Jaylen Brown put up 28 points, nine assists and seven rebounds."
"Brooklyn trailed just 82-76 in the third quarter, and got outscored 66-35 the rest of the way in essentially a quarter. Michael Porter Jr. had 18 points, and rookie Danny Wolf dropped 16 off the bench. But they got outrebounded 39-25, and never put up any defensive resistance all night."
"The Nets (15-43) have dropped seven straight, the second-worst skid in the league. Brooklyn is still third in the lottery standings and rising up the ranks. The Celtics have won 10 of their last dozen games and risen to second in the Eastern Conference despite star Jayson Tatum having been out."
