The Brooklyn Nets were obliterated Tuesday night 153-121 by the Sacramento Kings in an utterly embarrassing performance.
Brooklyn seemed to have steadied with four wins in six under new coach Jacque Vaughan but they have wobbled with back-to-back losses in California.
Kevin Durant scored 27 points to lead his team yet the Nets had no answers defensively against Sacramento. The 153 points allowed were the most ever in a regulation game in Nets history.
Since making the move to Brooklyn, things have not gone right for Kevin Durant and company
The game was highly anticipated in Sacramento with the Kings getting a rare chance to play on national television. They made the most of their opportunity with a dominant performance fueled by the 27-4 second-quarter run.
Brooklyn's latest loss did nothing to silence criticism of the franchise. Pregame Charles Barkley was outspoken in his disappointment at what has unfolded since Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant arrived in free agency in 2019.
Since they have had James Harden and more recently, Ben Simmons, as the third piece in an undeniably talented big three.
