The Nets faced a staggering 126-67 defeat against the Clippers, marking a historic low for the franchise
The game was played at the Intuit Dome, and Brooklyn just didn’t show up. They were down by a jaw-dropping 64 points with just over five minutes left. Their shooting was off, hitting only 30.5% from the field and a dismal 5-for-27 from three-point range.
At one point, the YES Network crew even had to fill time by talking about the 1,400 toilets at the arena. Talk about a rough night! The previous record for the worst loss was 52 points back in 1978, and it felt like the Clippers were trying to send the Nets back to New Jersey.
This loss comes after a tough season for Brooklyn, which is in rebuilding mode. They were missing key players like Cam Thomas and Ben Simmons, and it showed. The Clippers, on the other hand, were on fire, with Kawhi Leonard scoring 23 points in just 24 minutes.
James Harden, who used to play for the Nets, had a great game too, racking up 21 points and 11 assists. It’s wild to think how far the Nets have fallen since their Big 3 days. Now, they’re just trying to figure things out and rebuild. What a night for the Clippers, though! They’ll be celebrating this historic win for sure.
