Brooklyn bows to Oklahoma City: Nets fail to get over ‘hump’ against red-hot Thunder
Kris Humphries has been around for 22-44, 24-58 and 12-70 — the Nets’ record in each of the previous three seasons.
When asked if he and his Brooklyn teammates could take anything out of Tuesday night’s 117-111 loss to the reigning Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder before a crowd of 17,732 at the Barclays Center, the veteran power forward refused to see any silver linings in the defeat, which was the Nets’ second in nine home games during their historic first season in our fair borough.
“A loss is a loss to us,” insisted Humphries, who finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds in Brooklyn’s second straight loss overall. “We’re not the Nets of the past few years. No moral victories. We’re trying to win games. Friday [against Golden State], that’s our approach: get a win. We can’t go on losing streaks. That’s not what this year’s about.”
