The Brooklyn Nets somehow lost to the woeful New York Knicks in a game that produced a meme-worthy shot of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving looking sad while watching it.
Point guard Spencer Dinwiddie — the only bright spot for the Nets, he had 25 points — wondered if “too much eggnog” was to blame. But whatever it was, it was a game they’ll want to put behind them quickly.
Just how bad was it? The Nets made some history — they did make 13 three-pointers … but they only made eight other field goals overall (it’s worth noting they went to the line 36 times). And that number of twos is the number that was historically bad:
The Nets made 8 2-point field goals tonight vs the Knicks, the fewest by any team in a game since Nov. 22, 1950 (Lakers and Pistons each made 4). h/t @EliasSports
Prior to tonight, the fewest made 2-pt FG in a game in the shot clock era (since 1954-55) was 11, done twice.
