The Nets‘ issues closing out games continued in a 113-99 loss, as even the undermanned Celtics proved to be too much at Barclays Center.
When the Nets opened a nine-point lead over the Celtics in the first quarter Tuesday, maybe it seemed possible they’d win consecutive games for the first time this season.
And Michael Porter Jr.’s 3-pointer early in the fourth put the Nets up again.
But that was the last basket the Nets made until 1:56 to go, as their issues closing out games continued in a 113-99 loss, as even the undermanned Celtics proved to be too much at Barclays Center.
Boston pulled away midway through the fourth, with an 18-3 run.
