The Brooklyn Nets got 60 combined points from Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, but once again weren’t able to come up with enough offense or enough stops to beat the Bucks.

Steve Nash ended up getting two techs and tossed but even that show of emotion didn’t lead to the Nets not taking a major step back in the third quarter when they were outscored 35-21. The Locked on Nets guys break down the game, the Nets issues in the 3rd again and how this whole thing unfolded.

In the first game of the season, the Nets really never got started. Kevin Durant was able to pour in some scoring when he finally got started, but the rest of the team (and even KD early) really struggled in this matchup against the Pelicans. They had no real answer for Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas down low and the Pelicans were able to do almost everything they wanted. Ben Simmons fouled out with just two points, five assists, and five rebounds and there weren’t a ton of positives here. The Locked on Nets guys break down the game and have takeaways from the first game of the season.
