The Brooklyn Nets suffered a heavy 117-91 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their final road game of the season, with their record sitting at a disappointing 26-55. Coach Jordi Fernández criticized the team's poor shooting (37% overall, 29% from three) and lackluster defense, noting the need for greater physicality and fight. Rudy Gobert dominated the Nets with a stellar performance, while Keon Johnson led the Nets in scoring with 20 points. This loss highlighted the team's struggles throughout the season, leaving them on track for their worst record since 2016-17.
It's really hard to win a basketball game when you shoot 37 percent from the field and 29 percent from 3. You're just not going to win many games, unless your defense is close to perfect, and our defense wasn't close to perfect.
We didn't win a single quarter, so I have higher expectations for the group and how we want to handle all those games. I'm OK with losing a game. I'm not OK with not fighting the right way.
