‘Force’ not with Nets on Star Wars Night
Orlando Captures First-Ever Brooklyn Win with 105-82 Blowout
The “Force” will awaken across the universe in just a few days.
But the Brooklyn Nets appeared to miss their wake-up call Monday night at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
Putrid shooting, an inability to defend their own paint and — worst of all — a team-wide malaise afflicted the Nets as they commemorated “Star Wars Night” on the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues by getting their “Death Star” destroyed, 105-82, by the visiting Orlando Magic in front of a crowd of 12,946 that booed Brooklyn players off the court at the final buzzer.
