The Nets' road winning streak came to an ugly end with a drubbing in Boston on Friday. Brook Lopez was the lone bright spot as the Nets turned the ball over 20 times and allowed the Celtics to shoot 52 percent. Lopez led all scorers with 28 points on 10-for-21 shooting, but grabbed just three rebounds in 35 minutes.
Celtics58, Nets 40 at the half.
Think about this way: two of the best centers in the NBA, Dwight Howard and Brook Lopez, want to play next year for a team that has won 46 games in the past two and a half year. Gotta be a credit to somebody.
The Nets have won three straight on the road against top competition, vs. the Bulls, Knicks and Mavericks. In each case, the opponent was hot. Friday, they go into Boston, where the Celtics are anything but hot. They're 3-7 over the last ten, there are reports that all of their Big Three and Rajon Rondo can be had before the trade deadline.
