"The Nets picked the perfect time to leave our frigid borough for a five-game road trip through several time zones, including the balmy West Coast. But even as Brooklynites continue to shovel themselves out of this week's massive winter storm, the Nets haven't heated up a bit in January. Another embarrassingly slow start manifested itself into the Nets' latest loss, their 12th in 14 games this month,"
"While Brooklyn began bracing for a gruesome Monday morning of snow excavation, the Nets (12-32) found themselves in La-La Land, basking in 70 degree temperatures. That didn't help them get the ball in the basket, especially after weathering a pair of overtimes before falling to the Boston Celtics, 130-126, at Downtown's Barclays Center on Friday. For the second time in three games, including last Wednesday's 120-66 defeat to the East River rival New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden,"
Brooklyn lost 126-89 to the Los Angeles Clippers, marking the Nets' 12th loss in 14 January games and extending their losing streak to five. The team began a five-game road trip after leaving a massive winter storm at home, but struggles carried over from a recent overtime defeat to the Boston Celtics and a 120-66 loss to the Knicks. Kawhi Leonard scored 28 and former Net James Harden added 19 as the Clippers dominated early with a 38-14 first-quarter burst. Brooklyn's defense has fallen in the rankings, eroding play-in hopes. December momentum from rookie contributions and Michael Porter Jr.'s leadership has not carried into 2026.
