Nets already looking forward to better days
Franchise remains optimistic despite poor playoff showing in Philly
A 22-point, season-ending loss in Philadelphia doesn’t usually feel like the start of something big.
But don’t tell that to the Brooklyn Nets, who saw their turnaround campaign close with a thud following Tuesday night’s ugly 122-100 Game 5 defeat to the 76ers in front of a sellout crowd of 20,595 at the Wells Fargo Center.
After winning Game 1 in Philadelphia, the Nets were thoroughly outclassed and outplayed by the bigger, brawnier Sixers.
