Keon Johnson led the Nets with 20 points. Jalen Wilson added 15, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Suns’ dominance.The nets, who were missing key players like Cam Johnson, Cam Thomas, D’angelo Russell, and Ben Simmons, suffered their ninth straight home loss.
Looking Ahead
The Suns, reaching the midpoint of their season with a .500 record, have an prospect to build momentum in the second half with upcoming games against Brooklyn and the NBA’s worst team, Washington.
“My former team has done well acquiring draft assets,” Durant commented. “That could pay off nicely in the future,but for now,its not helping them on the court.”
The Nets will host Miami on saturday for a special occasion: the retirement of Hall of Famer Vince Carter’s no. 15 jersey during halftime.
