Nets come up just short vs. elite Celtics hours after losing best scorer
NY Post
First the Nets lost their best scorer. Then they lost a heartbreaker to basketball’s best team.
Hours after finding out Cam Thomas will miss the rest of the season, Brooklyn was edged 115-113 by defending champion Boston in front of a sellout crowd of 18,016 at Barclays Center.
The Nets (22-45) have dropped 10 of their last 11 games. Their prior four — against Chicago, Cleveland, Charlotte and Golden State Warriors — had been a combined 16 points because of struggles in the second half. This was even closer.
Cam Johnson — who had 23 points — hit a 3-pointer to pull Brooklyn within one with 4.5 seconds to play.
But Payton Pritchard (22 points) one of two at the line, and a last-ditch heave by Johnson failed to beat the clock.
Brooklyn has the fifth-best lottery odds, moving half-game ahead of Philadelphia and two ahead of the seventh-place Raptors.
