Déjà vu hit the Nets like a truck on Saturday. To end their five-game road trip, the Nets looked lifeless after a 53-point loss to the NBA title-contending Pistons, 130-77. It marked Detroit’s largest margin of victory in franchise history. It wasn’t just a typical outburst. The Nets seemed to quietly retire. These kinds of […]
The Nets’ loss wasn’t just humiliating. It was historic. Brooklyn was defeated 120-66 by the Knicks before a sellout crowd of 19,812 at the Garden, which saw defeat for the ages.

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 […]
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.
