"Michael Porter Jr. poured in 34 points, tying Kevin Durant and James Harden for the longest streak of 33-point games in Nets history, and rookie Danny Wolf added 17 points and seven rebounds off the bench. But it wasn't enough, as Brooklyn fell to the Dallas Mavericks 119-111 in a game that featured 23 lead changes and 16 ties. The Nets, who had won three of their previous four entering the night, dropped to 6-18 with the loss."
"Rookie Nolan Traore opened the second quarter at point guard, making his first NBA appearance since Nov. 18 after a lengthy but highly productive G League run. He'd miss both of his shots and commit two fouls in nine minutes, including a shift to start the fourth in a two-point game, but the more telling detail was Jordi Fernández turning to him in key moments. That choice reflected the trust Traore has earned during his time on Long Island."

Brooklyn fell to Dallas 119-111 in a game that featured 23 lead changes and 16 ties, dropping the Nets to 6-18. Cooper Flagg faced Brooklyn for the first time this season and produced an efficient start. Both teams shot 52% in the first quarter, and Porter scored 11 before exiting late in the period. Nolan Traore returned after a lengthy G League run and earned coach Jordi Fernández's trust despite limited production and fouls.
