Another heartbreaking loss for the Long Island Nets

The Long Island Nets, the NBA G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets, suffered another tough loss on Wednesday night, falling to the Westchester Knicks 127-117 at the Nassau Coliseum.

It was the second straight loss for the Nets, who are now 6-10 on the season. The Knicks, meanwhile, improved to 8-7.

The Nets were led by James Johnson, who had a team-high 25 points. Cameron Thomas added 23 points, and David Duke Jr. chipped in with 20 points.

However, it wasn't enough to overcome a strong performance from the Knicks, who were led by Quentin Grimes. Grimes finished with a game-high 28 points, and he was joined in double figures by Jalen Brunson, who had 23 points, and Miles McBride, who had 18 points.

The Nets will look to rebound from this loss when they host the Maine Celtics on Friday night.

What went wrong for the Nets?

The Nets were outplayed in all facets of the game on Wednesday night. They were outrebounded by the Knicks 50-37, and they committed 19 turnovers to the Knicks' 12.

The Nets also struggled to defend the Knicks' three-point shooting. The Knicks hit 14-of-34 three-pointers (41.2%), while the Nets hit just 8-of-26 three-pointers (30.8%).

The Nets will need to improve their rebounding and ball security if they want to start winning games.
