Throughout the game, the two sides played a good half of the game, the first half of the game the Nets frequently attacked the Kings' inside line, achieving Clarkston's half-time 17 points data, but the second half of the game began to be frequently scored by the Kings, but they could not find a way to attack, and finally the Nets lost the game 101-112 away, ushering in 6 consecutive losses.

In the first quarter of the game, the Nets' tactics were executed very clearly, that is, to attack the Kings' inner line, Clarkston scored four consecutive points to help the Nets open the situation, and the Kings frequent shots on the outside line, barely keeping up with the Nets' offensive rhythm, the Nets' outside feel is not too good, in addition to Irving hit two three-pointers, the others were 4 of 0, and the Kings shot 13 times to hit 5 three-pointers, of course, the Nets' implementation of a better point is that it constantly impacts the Kings' inner line, and the first quarter of the game is over, The Nets led the Kings 32-23, and it is worth mentioning that Harden contributed 0 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, the Nets continued to use their own tactics to attack the inside line, Clarkston frequently caused kills on the inside line, the entire first half of the game ended, the Nets scored 30 points in the box, while the Kings only had 20 points, fortunately, the Nets side of the three-point sense of recovery, Mills single quarter 4 in 3, to help the Nets continue to lead the advantage, and finally the half game ended, the Nets led the Kings 62-54, Harden finally broke the scoring drought at the end of the second quarter, At the end of the half, Harden had 2 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 stat.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Kings were full of firepower, with Mills hit a three-pointer, the point difference narrowed to 4 points, the key moment was Clarkston stood up and scored consecutively, but in the third quarter of the game Harden offensive desire is not strong, in addition to contributing 4 mistakes, did not score into the account, and finally with Harden off the field, the Kings' defensive intensity began to slowly increase, the shooting rate is also steadily improved, the third quarter of the war, the Kings have successfully chased the point difference to 3 points at 83-86.
At the beginning of the final quarter, the Nets made consecutive mistakes, the Kings blasted a wave of 8-0 in just over a minute, stopped the Nets, and after the suspension came back, the Kings continued to expand the point difference steadily, while the Nets frequently missed outside shots, completely forgetting their tactical core, Clarkston, who scored 17 points in the first half of the game, did not play much in the second half, Nash overused Harden and Irving to solve the problem through singles, and finally swallowed six consecutive defeats.
At the end of the game, the Nets' old problems were exposed again, they did not have too much tactical cooperation at the critical moment, they could only give Harden and Irving a lot of single shot opportunities, when Irving and Harden did not feel good, the Nets' offense stagnated, and no one stood up to score at the critical moment, which was the key to the Nets' loss.
Through this game, we can see the laziness of the Nets lineup, the first half of the resolute play inside has been able to maintain the leading advantage, but with the king's defensive intensity improved, the Nets have forgotten the initial tactical cooperation, the Nets frequent outside shots, but let the Kings play out of confidence, and finally regret to lose the game, this game also gave the Nets a wake-up call, when the big three feel bad, what should the Nets do? Is Nash putting too much pressure on the Big Three?
