However they could try to justify it, the Nets were outplayed by a team that holds the Eastern Conference’s worst record.
The well-rested and young Pistons out-hustled and outlasted the Nets, 130-122, in front of 17,732 at Barclays Center on Thursday, when the Nets dropped their sixth game of eight without Durant. They will hope they did not lose Simmons for extended time, too.
It wasn’t pretty, and they failed the objective. The Nets disappeared in the third quarter against a Detroit squad that had dropped four straight. Irving led the Nets with 40 often spectacular points, draining six 3-pointers, finishing with either hand while suspended in air and often finding Claxton for alley-oops. Irving, who was named an All-Star starter shortly before tipoff, is the fourth player in the Nets’ history in the NBA to register 30-plus points in five straight games, joining Durant, Stephon Marbury and John Williamson.
