Alarm bells blaring for Nets after Kyrie Irving injury

Sometimes, it’s best simply to let the metaphor speak for itself.

“A mechanical issue in the administrative offices at Fiserv Forum triggered [an] alarm,” came a statement from arena security, maybe an hour after the Milwaukee Bucks were done stomping the Nets on Sunday, 107-96 in Milwaukee. “Although the building was evacuated for precautionary reasons, there was no fire.” There is no actual fire attached to the Nets right now, either, not quite, not yet. But make no mistake: the alarm bells are blaring. The Nets, on Thursday, were two possessions away from taking a 3-0 lead in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series. They couldn’t quite finish that off.
