"Wednesday was Madison Square Garden. Sunday was Intuit Dome. Different coast, same result. The Nets lost 126-89 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night, dropping their fifth straight game, falling to 12-32 and continuing a familiar freefall. Brooklyn has now lost 10 of its last 11 games, and after spending December posting the best defensive ratings in the league, the Nets have regressed right back into one of the NBA's worst teams."
"Brooklyn stayed stuck on 10 points until the 3:07 mark, when Day'Ron Sharpe finally ended the drought with an offensive rebound and putback. In between, the Clippers ripped off a 15-2 run to take complete control, with James Harden setting the tone as a scorer, just like he did the last time these teams met when Los Angeles visited Barclays Center on Jan. 9 in a 121-105 Clippers win."
The Nets lost 126-89 to the Clippers, marking their fifth straight loss and falling to 12-32 amid a run of 10 losses in 11 games. After posting top defensive ratings in December, Brooklyn regressed into one of the league's worst defensive teams. The Nets shot 33.7% (9-for-43 from three), committed 17 turnovers, and allowed frequent rim scoring while trailing by as many as 40. Los Angeles established dominance early with paint points and a 15-2 run, while Brooklyn endured long scoring droughts and was shorthanded without Noah Clowney, Cam Thomas and Nolan Traore.
