Nets waste Mikal Bridges’ 42 points in ‘frustrating’ overtime loss to Trail Blazers
NY Post
The Nets are heading to Paris with a bad taste in their mouths, salty after blowing multiple leads in a 134-127 overtime loss to Portland before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Barclays Center on Sunday.
And they have nobody to blame but themselves, squandering a huge performance from Mikal Bridges to fall for the 11th time in their last 14 games.
And Sunday’s was a defeat that clearly should’ve been a victory.
“Very [frustrating],” said Cam Johnson. “We definitely should have won. It’s frustrating.”
The Nets led by eight in the fourth quarter and half as much in overtime.
This against Portland (10-21), who’d been the worst shooting team in the league and was missing Deandre Ayton.
