Boston Hands Lethargic Brooklyn Squad Third Straight Defeat
Mason Plumlee admitted the Nets were outhustled, Lionel Hollins called Brook Lopez out for being downright lazy and Deron Williams, once considered the face of this franchise, continued to be a non-factor due to injury.
If all that wasn’t enough, Brooklyn suffered its third consecutive defeat Wednesday night at Downtown’s Barclays Center, falling 89-81 to the Boston Celtics in front of a crowd of 16,005.
“No question [we were outhustled],” Plumlee said after putting up 16 points and 12 rebounds. “It hurts to say that, but that’s what happened.”
