‘Same Old Story’ for struggling Nets
Another Fourth-Quarter Collapse Costs Brooklyn in Loss to Toronto
Whether he was perched on the bench as one of Lionel Hollins’ assistants or on his feet screaming his lungs out as the Brooklyn Nets’ newly named interim head coach, Tony Brown has witnessed what took place in Toronto Monday night time and time again this season.
“It seems like the same old story,” Brown lamented after watching the Nets play a putrid fourth quarter en route to a 112-100 loss to the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors in front of 19,800 fans at the Air Canada Centre.
“We get down late in stretches of the game, some of the things we were doing really well, [but] we started turning the ball over late,” added Brown after Toronto used a game-deciding 14-0 run in the final period to hand Brooklyn its 16th loss in 20 road contests this year.
