defense defensive field gave good hats played three
We only had three field goals, but more importantly, we gave up 27 points. We just had some defensive breakdowns. Sometimes we played good defense and they made shots. That's why we're tipping our hats to them.

The big picture is we're trying to get ready for the playoffs. You want to keep guys healthy.

It's important we continue to practice good habits regardless of what the result is because as we go on, we'll wean minutes down for some guys. But it's still important we're doing what Nets basketball is all about.

It's a great opportunity to play because in the playoffs you never know what's going to happen. It's a great opportunity for these guys, and we still would like to win these games.

We're just trying to get healthy so that whoever our first-round opponent is we're ready to roll.

There are no excuses. We've got enough players on our team to play better than that.
defense empty missed missing open pressure puts scoring straight ton
We had 10 straight empty possessions. We missed a ton of open shots, and that puts a ton of pressure on the defense. It was a combination of their No. 1 scoring defense and us missing a lot of uncontested shots.

We're just playing at a much different level now, we're much more secure with who we are. We're in a much different state, where we don't exhale. We belong. We're a damn good team.
starting
We're starting to see what we need to do to win.

We'll start limiting some minutes as we go and potentially hold a guy out of a game, whether it's against Boston or New York, something like that.

Those momentum-changing shots are huge. Vince has done that time and time again for the whole year, and once again, he delivered.
