Nets’ lack of winning habits without Michael Porter Jr. exposed again in loss to Grizzlies
NY Post
An endgame collapse kept the Nets winless without Michael Porter Jr. this season — and was a reminder of just how much this young team has to learn about winning.
Brooklyn fell 103-98 in Memphis on Sunday, allowing the final 13 points to implode before 15,578 fans at FedExForum.
The Nets fell to 0-7 without Porter, who sat out Sunday. They desperately needed his scoring and endgame savvy because it was a galling finish.
For a second straight game, Brooklyn stumbled out of the starting block. But they erased a 16-point deficit to take a 98-90 lead with three minutes to play.
Those final 180 seconds proved a nightmare, letting the Grizzlies — who played without star guard Ja Morant — to close on a 13-0 run.
Noah Clowney and Tyrese Martin led the Nets with 17 points, though the former shot just 4-for-17 from the floor and a horrid 4-for-15 from 3-point range. Danny Wolf started for Porter and had 11 points and 10 boards.

It’s the bottom of the ninth, tying run on second base with two outs. Aaron Judge is at the plate with a 2-2 count. He watches a 99-mph fastball go by him below the knees that looks like ball three, except the home plate umpire rings him up for strike three. Game over.
This was what the Rangers were supposed to look like. These were the stretches — and the dominant ones, at that — they were supposed to produce consistently, with this talent and these expectations.
