Sagging Nets lack energy in loss to Spurs
Suffer Humbling 112-86 Loss to Perennial NBA Contenders at Barclays
The Nets learned Monday morning that they wouldn’t have point guard Jeremy Lin back in action for at least another three to five weeks.
Then they got a glimpse into how long they’ll have to wait to even begin resembling an NBA contender.
Despite facing a San Antonio team without four regulars, including a pair of surefire Hall of Famers and a former Finals MVP, Brooklyn was beaten badly from start to finish en route to a humbling 112-86 loss to the shorthanded Spurs in front of 16,643 paying customers at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
