The Nets were Outrebounded 51-33 Missed 13 free throws Outscored 39-27 in bench points They also gave up an 11-2 run after being tied at 88 in the 4th Q.
More from Kevin Ollie: "Our effort wasn't good enough to get a win. We didn't pay enough to get this win. That goes for coaches, that goes for everybody. We gotta pay the cost for the win and that's effort. That's energy" #Nets
"When you don't keep swinging, you get knocked out. And they knocked us out." Kevin Ollie said the #Nets stopped swinging and weren't scrappy enough tonight.
Nets lose 106-102 to the Grizzlies, who entered on a 5-game losing streak. Another bad loss similar to their loss at the Wizards and Trail Blazers Can't win games going 17-30 on FTs and getting outrebounded 50-33
Kevin Ollie’s defensive vision is beginning to blossom for the Brooklyn Nets. @CjHolmes22 https://t.co/aLUqI5I3q5
Taylor Jenkins secures career win No. 200, and Luke Kennard finished with 25 points and seven assists. Final: Grizzlies 106 Nets 102 The five-game losing streak has been snapped. Three quick takeaways: https://t.co/MXM0OCk9Hv
Fans are headed for the exits but Mikal Bridges is attempting 3 FTs Made 2 but the Nets tried to intentionally miss the 3rd. They did. NO idea why do that down by three.....with 6.7 seconds left.
Luke Kennard has a season-high 22 points for the Grizzlies. Has made six 3-pointers.
Nets are being outrebounded 46-29 and have given up 20 second-chance points, which is about the only way you can lose to a team missing almost all its top players. Grizzlies up 92-88 with 5:20 to play.
Nets down 80-77 after three quarters. Grizzlies are outrebounding, out-toughing them and the Nets need a strong 4th Q to avoid a really bad loss. Claxton: 18 pts Johnson: 13 pts Walker/Johnson: 10 pts Kennard: 17 pts (5-8 on 3s)
Nets needed that 9-0 run badly to get some life. Claxton got T'd up slamming the ball after his emphatic dunk. But the Nets finally seem to have waken up a bit.
Nets down 75-70 The Grizzlies have also outrebounded the Nets 33-22. So add that as a Nets problem. Poor shooting from the field, FT line and giving up 16 2nd chance points.
The Nets are 9 for 19 on free throws tonight against Memphis. You better have Shaq on your team accounting for those misses if you're going to be that bad.
The Nets are 8/17 on FTs tonight...... If you're wondering why they're down six
Grizz lead Nets 53-52 at half. Shooting efficiently from 3 (42.1%) and overall from field (50%). Looked similar in previous game vs Portland. Key tonight will be transition defense in 2nd half and limiting Nets’ on offensive glass and turnovers. https://t.co/m4xmvjJqia
Nets down 53-52 at halftime to the Grizzlies. Grizz shooting 50% Nets have 13 points off seven Grizz turnovers Nets: 7/13 on FTs 23 bench points for the Grizz Schroder: 10 pts, 6 assts LaRavia: 10 pts
Mikal Bridges with the reverse finish ⏪ https://t.co/TP7EkA7B5p
Flag-1 on Lonnie Walker....the bizzaro half continues for the Nets.
Nets have made this game close shooting just 36.4% Give the Grizz credit defending in the halfcourt but it's reverting to some old habits in real time. 6-16 on 3s being 1 of em
After a replay changed the score. End of 1st Nets 31, (shooting 40.9%) Grizzlies 29 (shooting 52.6%) Big difference is Nets have 9 points off turnovers
End of 1st Nets 31, (shooting 40.9%) Grizzlies 28 (shooting 52.6%) Both teams have made six 3s. Big difference is Nets have 9 points off turnovers
14-7 Nets run since the timeout and this thing is tied Lonnie Walker almost had a nice highlight dunk but instead drew iron and somehow not a foul, to his surprise
8-2 Nets run out of the timeout. Walker/Schröder in for Bridges Claxton. https://t.co/xNqsX92TrC
Memphis has started 4/6 from deep and is currently on a 9-0 run, up 12-5. Nets are 1/4 on FG attempts. https://t.co/E0lj8qo6yK
Grizzlies hit 3s on 3 straight possessions and it's time out time, Nets. Guess this is where I say the Nets are top-5 defending the three since the All-Star break? Ehhhh not right now.
Nets starters vs. Memphis Dennis Schroder Mikal Bridges Cam Johnson Dorian Finney-Smith Nic Claxton @DamichaelC isn’t here and I view that as an absolute win for everyone involved.
