NEW YORK — Just when you think it can’t get any worse, in comes the stark reminder that there’s always another level below the basement.
Kevin Durant said it best: The coach can only do so much. It falls on the players to make an impact in a game.
Those players did not step up in the first game following Steve Nash’s dismissal as Nets head coach. The Nets led by as many as 12 but ultimately forfeited that lead in a 108-99 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday.
