NEW YORK — The Nets had a spark. There was Monday, when Seth Curry propelled them to a win against the Kings, snapping an 11-game losing streak. And of course, there was Wednesday’s game against the Knicks – a stunning, spirited comeback, where they erased a 28-point deficit behind Cam Thomas’ cold-blooded shooting.
But even before the Nets took on the Wizards in the second game of a back-to-back on Thursday night, Steve Nash hedged his bets. Despite recent promising returns, his team was still undermanned – playing without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons and Joe Harris – and they were depleted ahead of a much-needed weeklong break. "It’ll be tough," he said.
It sure was.
