Michael Porter Jr. is likely to play against his former Nuggets team on Sunday after missing the past two games due to illness. Cam Thomas is available, but starting center Nic Claxton is still out for personal reasons. He ranks fourth among all centers with 131 assists and a career-high of 4.2 per game, and […]
Or the sick Michael Porter Jr. is back on Sunday to face the Nuggets team that traded him, his absence has only underscored his importance. With Porter, the Nets have been competitive — and sometimes a little better than that, winning seven of their last 10 games. But without him they are 0-6. Now they’ll […]
Maybe Brooklyn’s tank is still alive. In a clash sure to have lottery implications, the shorthanded Nets lost 119-99 to Washington on Friday before a crowd of 16,486 at Capital One Arena. After winning seven of 10, Brooklyn (10-22) has gone cold, losing three in a row. They currently sit fifth in the lottery standings […]
The Nets trailed for the final 28 minutes of Thursday night’s loss to the Rockets. But that doesn’t mean those minutes were meaningless. Coach Jordi Fernández gave rookie Nolan Traore some tough love as he came off the field after some ill-advised three-point attacks made that clear. The French teenager is a good penetrator and […]
The Houston Rockets opened the new year with a dominant road performance, rolling past the Brooklyn Nets 120-96 on Thursday night at Barclays Center. The win pushed Houston to 21-10 and marked its fourth straight win. The Rockets immediately set the tone, making their first seven shots and jumping out to a 16-5 lead. Brooklyn […]
Trailing three-fifths of their starting lineup, the Nets suffered a wire-to-wire 120-96 rout of the Rockets in front of a sellout crowd of 18,003 at Barclays Center. The Nets were missing eight players, including starters Michael Porter Jr., Egor Dëmin and Terance Mann. Equally notable was the fact that Cam Thomas still couldn’t get going […]
This was the aggressiveness Nets coach Jordi Fernández wanted to see from freshman point guard Egor Dëmin, who set a franchise record for rookies Monday night against the Warriors with seven made 3-pointers on 14 attempts. Yet the 19-year-old lottery pick also registered just three assists in 32 minutes and recorded two key turnovers in […]
The NBA’s most potent defense was no match for history’s greatest shooter. The Nets saw their best three-game winning streak of the season snapped by Steph Curry and his Warriors, who were defeated 120-107 in front of a sellout crowd of 18,163 at Barclays Center. The Nets (10-20) had rode length and youth to the […]
Cam Thomas made his return a triumphant one. And an impressive one. After Thomas missed 20 straight games due to a strained left hamstring, there were many questions about how his ISO play and questionable defense would fit into the Nets’ new style. Apparently the answer was fine. Playing his first game since Nov. 5, […]
Brooklyn’s longest winning streak of the season ended with its most impressive victory of the year. And it’s not even close. The Nets’ 123-107 laughout of Minnesota wasn’t just a road victory. It was a statement against one of the league’s best teams and one of its top players. On a night when their shots […]
