Oct 30, 2023: Regular Season Game
Brooklyn Nets @ Charlotte Hornets | Spectrum Center
Nets Can't Overcome Slow Start, Fall To Hornets, 109-118
A 41-point first half, which saw Brooklyn shoot a dismal 39% from the field, proved to be too much to overcome, as the Nets dropped its third game in as many tries. Spencer Dinwiddie was a catalyst, scoring a game-high 30 points, leading the way for a late-game rally that fell short.

curry was open a lot since the focus was on stopping luka and kyrie. that team is tough. 5 shooters on the floor and 2 of them are elite iso players. theres really no stopping them, just gotta pick your poison and live with the results -- and pray that u outscore them somehow.

3-game losing streak. it happens. not worried

[Captain Canada]

Humbling start but its still early on in the season. Let's get some wins going.

Heat Narrowly Escape In Final Seconds, Nets Dropped Again, 111-104
It came down to the closing seconds as Jimmy Butler went coast-to-coast to give his team a two point lead, which was ultimately stretched via desperation fouling. Miami knocked down 26-of-27 free throws, proving correct the mantra "the game is won at the line."
