Nets run out of juice in loss to Denver
Out-sized and out-hustled in 112-104 road defeat to Nuggets
The Nets couldn’t come close to matching the defensive intensity, ball movement and clutch shooting they demonstrated during Monday night’s victory in Phoenix.
Instead, they simply looked like a team that was out of gas and, as usual, short on size in a 112-104 loss to the Denver Nuggets in front of 14,058 fans at the Pepsi Center on Tuesday night.
“I don’t think we had the requisite juice. The execution wasn’t good,” Brooklyn head coach Kenny Atkinson admitted, one night after watching his team rally for an impressive 98-92 victory over the Suns in Arizona
