"Miami had a 54-34 edge in bench scoring and shot 53%. The Nets are the sixth team to have a losing streak of 10 or more games this season, joining Sacramento (16), Washington (14), Indiana (13), Chicago (11) and Dallas (10). It's the longest slide for Brooklyn since the 2021-22 team dropped 11 straight."
