Nets Lose 104-96 to Shorthanded Celtics

News summary

The Brooklyn Nets faced a disappointing defeat against the Boston Celtics, losing 104-96 despite leading for much of the game. The Celtics managed to secure the win while playing without star players Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, with Kristaps Porzingis leading the team with 25 points and 13 rebounds. Rookie Baylor Scheierman made a significant impact, scoring a career-high 20 points, including critical three-pointers in the fourth quarter that helped Boston regain control. The Nets' inability to maintain their lead, particularly during a crucial 20-8 run by the Celtics, compounded their struggles as they suffered their eighth consecutive loss to Boston. D'Angelo Russell led Brooklyn with 18 points, but the team's overall shooting performance was subpar, finishing at just 40.9%. The Nets now hold the fifth-best odds in the lottery as they prepare for their upcoming game against Indiana.
