Kyrie Irving can’t do it alone as Nets fall to Trail Blazers
NY Post
In a matchup between Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard — two of the NBA’s best point guards — Lillard had more help and more health on his side.
The shorthanded Nets didn’t have enough firepower on one end or defense on the other. And in the end, they took a 128-109 loss to the Trail Blazers on the chin before 1,773 fans at Barclays Center. “[They’re] an incredible test for us,” coach Steve Nash had warned beforehand. “This team can really score. They get up top five in 3s taken and efficiency. They cause all sorts of problems offensively. So for us, [a] little shorthanded, it’s a great test how we can come together.More Related News
