On March 28, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets lost 110-119 at home to the Charlotte Hornets. Due to the loss of this game, the Nets also fell to ninth place in the East. The good news for the Nets, though, is that the team's schedule will be the easiest in the league.
In the following games, the Nets' opponents averaged just 42.5 percent of the wins, which was also the lowest in the league. Opponents are the Pistons, Bucks, Eagles, Rockets, Knicks, Cavaliers and Pacers. With the exception of the Bucks and Cavaliers, other teams are ranked below the Nets.
In today's game, since the Hornets were only one win behind the Nets before, if the Nets lost in this game, their ranking would fall to ninth in the East. As a result, the Nets had a chance to win, when, in the first 3 minutes and 37 seconds before the finale, Irving made two free throws, the Nets overtook the Hornets 106-105, and then Washington made a layup to help the Hornets regain the advantage, nash asked for a timeout.
However, no one could have predicted that in the final 3 minutes and 21 seconds of the final quarter, the Hornets hit four three-pointers (Cody Martin 2, Rozier and Bridges 1 each), and in the end, the Hornets won the game.
Now, with Irving able to play at home, many people are optimistic that the Nets can make a strong comeback. But on Irving's first day at home, the Nets lost, which was really too difficult!
