The Brooklyn Nets played their third of four preseason games on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers and lost 127-119. While the game was just a preseason exhibition, there was plenty of hard fouls and trash-talking going around from both teams throughout the course of the game.

One of the themes of Monday’s preseason game was Brooklyn’s inability to take care of the basketball. The Nets turned the ball over 27 times and that led to 38 points for the 76ers just from those miscues. However, the fact that Brooklyn was slowly able to get back into the game was a good sign from a group that’s still learning how to play together.

Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn mentioned in his pregame availability that he wanted to see other players on the roster get some extended run and that was why Mikal Bridges sat for this contest. As a result, players like Cam Thomas and Trendon Watford were able to show what they had against a good Philadelphia team.

Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to Monday’s physical contest:
