Nets get served a lesson from rebuild-success Magic
NY Post
Hopefully, the Nets were taking copious notes.
Beyond the normal lessons they can learn from any loss, the Magic provided them an ideal rebuild blueprint to follow and represent so much of what these Nets hope to eventually become.
They’re at a far different spot in their rebuild than the Magic, and it was evident as the Nets were trounced, 123-100, to the red-hot Magic Friday night at Barclays Center, falling to 9-11 on the season.
The Nets have just begun their organizational reset, while the Magic have come out the other side and begun enjoying success.
Friday’s loss snapped the Nets’ three-game winning streak and marked the Magic’s 10th win in their last 11 games despite being without star Paolo Banchero since the start of November.
