NBA Twitter reacts to the Brooklyn Nets’ ugly loss in Sacramento
The Brooklyn Nets suffered a 32-point loss to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, making it the team’s third loss in five games.
The Nets had one of the worst defensive performances in the history of the franchise against Sacramento. According to Statmuse, Brooklyn’s 153 points allowed is the second-most in team history, trailing only a double-overtime 161-157 loss to to Steve Nash’s Suns in 2006.
A total of six different Kings scored at least 14 points as Sacramento ran up the score on the Nets’ defense. Terence Davis torched the Nets from beyond the arc, making seven 3-pointers in just 26 minutes on the floor to lead all scorers with 31 points.
Here’s what fans, analysts and players were saying after Tuesday’s loss:
Nets defense has been embarrassing tonight. Turning the ball over, getting backdoored, losing shooters.
Complete lack of focus that we haven’t seen in recent games.
