Nets drop fifth-straight, fall to Nuggets 122-117

>> CHRIS SHEARN, FRANK ICE SHE’LL BACK AT BARCLAYS CENTER. THE NETS LOSE A TOUGH ONE TO THE DENVER NUGGETS, DEFENDING CHAMPIONS 122-117 THE FINAL. THE NETS WERE IN THIS GAME THE ENTIRE TIME, FRANK, IT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF PENSIONS DOWN THE STRETCH WITH THE LEAD. THEY TOOK THAT 4 POINT LEAD, A

COUPLE OF TURNOVERS DID THEM IN. >> THAT 4 POINT LEAD, AFTER THE NETS HAD A FIVE-POINT TRIP WHERE THEY HAD SCORED, GOT FOULED, MISS ADD FREE-THROW AND CAM JOHNSON CONVERT ADD THREE-POINT PLAY. AT 105-101, NIC JOKIC HITS A THREE AND THE RUN TO CLOSE OUT THE GAME FOR THE DENVER NUGGETS.

THE EXPERIENCED TEAM WITH ALL THE TALENT, HOW GOOD WAS JAMAAL MURRAY. WE TALKED ABOUT HIM BEING AN ALL-STAR, FIRST HALF AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT HALF TIME, LET’S SEE IF HE GETS GOING. HE HAD SIX POINTS AT HALF TIME. CHRIS, HE SEEMED TO HIT EVERY BIG SHOT DOWN THE STRETCH.

MIKAL BRIDGES, IT’S GOT TO BE FRUSTRATING. MAKABLE SHOT ON THAT ENSUING POSSESSION BY DENVER. HE FOULS PEYTON WATSON. DIDN’T TURN INTO A THREE-POINT PLAY AND CAM THOMAS ALMOST SAVED THE PLAY. A VERY ENTERTAINING GAME. THEY GAVE UP 120 POINTS, BUT THERE WERE MOMENTS THEY WERE DEFENDING AND MAKING THINGS

REALLY TOUGH FOR THE DENVER NUGGETS. >> THEY REALLY DID SHOW UP ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL. GOT DENNIS SMITH, JR. BACK TONIGHT, AS I’M DATING MYSELF, I SAID DENNIS SCOTT, THE FORMER ORLANDO MAGIC PLAYER, BUT THE NETS WHEN THEY ALLOW 120 OR MORE NOW DROP TO 1-14 ON THE SEASON.

WHEN THEY DO THAT, 120 OR UNDER, THEY WERE 12-1 COMING IN TONIGHT. LOOKS LIKE THEY HAD THEMSELVES A WIN AND WERE GOING TO HOLD IT. >> THEY WERE FOULING DROWN THE STRETCH. GETTING THEM TO 122 POINTS. AGAIN IT WAS AFTER THEY TOOK THAT FOUR-POINT LEAD AND DENVER RESPONDED.

THE TURNOVER, THE LOB PASS TO CLAXTON. CAM THOMAS HAD A BAD DUMPOVER. AFTER THE 5 POINT LEAD, THEIR NEXT FOUR POSSESSIONS WERE TWO POORLY MISSED SHOTS

Brooklyn drops their fifth-straight game, as the Nuggets come to Barclays and leave with a 122-117 win over the Nets. Subscribe for daily sports videos!
