The Nets are now off to a 1-4 start to the season and have lost three straight following a 129-125 overtime loss to the Mavericks on Thursday night.
The Nets might be in some trouble.
This was a seesawing game, with the Mavericks not taking a decisive lead until a dramatic end to regulation led to overtime. Kyrie Irving matched Doncic in the fourth, sparking the Nets on two stepback 3’s and a stumbling floater to pull them back into the game after the Mavs extended their lead to nine. Brooklyn would go into the lead after two free throws from Durant made it 101-100 with 5:45 to go in regulation. Hanging onto it, though, proved to be a challenge.
Going into the fourth, there had already been eight ties, 11 lead changes and neither team had led by more than eight.
