The Brooklyn Nets‘ defense decided that it wasn’t going to show up for their game against the San Antonio Spurs and allowed the most points than they had all season (130). They were the obvious underdogs in this game and remained that way until the very end.
The Brooklyn Nets have had the worst defense this season and continued to show us why they do in their 130-101 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The most points they allowed before this game was 129, so it wasn’t much worse than other games they have had, but like most games where they allow that much, they came out on the losing side of it.

Patty Mills and Jonathan Simmons were also also threats coming off the bench, combining for 30 points.

Brook Lopez was limited in his productivity, but still put up 14 points, shooting 3-of-7 from the field. Not many other Nets produced in this game.
