Struggling Nets nose-diving into halftime
Two-game slide result of poor finishes before intermission
While the Nets have been shorthanded due to injury during the season’s first month, Brooklyn head coach Jacque Vaughn is more interested in how short they’ve been coming up before halftime.
Especially in their last two losses.
“Teams are doing different things to us at the end of quarters to disrupt (us), so you have to have a poise about you,” Vaughn admitted Sunday after Philadelphia went on a 23-7 run before intermission en route to a 121-99 win over the Nets in front of 17,934 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
