Nets face new challenge in 4th quarter without Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant | amNewYork

BROOKLYN - With less than a second left on the clock, Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn drew up a play with his team down 101-98.In a moment like this a week ago Vaughn would have drawn up a play to get the ball to Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant.This time around, that wasn't an option for the Nets.Instead, he crafted a play to get the ball to Spencer Dinwiddie, and although he hit the deep three-point shot, the basket was waved off and Brooklyn lost 101-98.

Nets lose 129-127 to Hawks after Trae Young buries buzzer-beating floater

It was almost poetic.Here were the Nets, who trailed by as many as 18 in Sunday's loss to the Hawks in Atlanta, figuring out how to close games now that their superstars are gone - only for a superstar on the other end to put the nail in the coffin.After Cam Johnson nailed a three to tie the game at 127 apiece, Hawks star Trae Young drove the lane, pump faked and threw up a floater that left his hands just in time and swished through the net at the buzzer to lift the Hawks to a 129-127 victory in Atlanta.
