The Nets were on the second half of the back-to-back on Wednesday and had to play this one without James Harden who sat because of hamstring tightness. The skeleton crew for Brooklyn put up a great fight against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, but it wasn’t enough. Even with Cam Thomas getting hot off the bench, finishing with 25 points, it wasn’t enough and Brooklyn lost their third in a row and 10th in their last 16 games.

Doug Norrie goes through some of the game with performances that you could find encouraging as well as a strong first half from Brooklyn that saw them leading at halftime. But they struggled to score late and had a few key things not go their way down the stretch. Is there reason to panic in Brooklyn?
