Slumping Nets continue to lack finishing touch
Squander NBA-High sixth double-digit lead in loss to Utah
“Always be closing!” was the memorable motivational phrase used by Alec Baldwin’s character in the film version of David Mamet’s play “Glengarry Glen Ross” about real estate agents here in our fair borough.
The Brooklyn Nets are in dire need of adapting and, more importantly, heeding that mantra following their most recent late-game disaster.
The Nets squandered a double-digit lead for an NBA-high sixth time this season Wednesday night at Downtown’s Barclays Center, suffering their season-high fourth consecutive loss in a 101-91 defeat to the defensive-minded Utah Jazz in front of 12,928 paying customers on the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues.
