Nets’ Rally Falters Against Relentless Spurs
The Nets, currently facing a tough spell, mounted a brief resurgence in the opening minutes of the third quarter, narrowing the deficit to six through a 13-4 run in the first three minutes and twenty-six seconds. However, the Spurs responded resoundingly, closing the period ahead 104-84, effectively extinguishing any hopes Brooklyn harboured of a comeback.
Michael Porter Jr. led the Nets with 24 points and matched his output with 14 rebounds, while Day’Ron Sharpe made a solid contribution off the bench with 14 points and 11 boards. Nonetheless, it proved insufficient as Brooklyn’s losing streak extended to six games.
