Nets embarrassed by Grizzlies 118-79

The Brooklyn Nets could not carry the momentum from their win in Boston into Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Brooklyn was on the wrong end of a blowout at Barclays Center just one night after the Nets had their most impressive win of the 2019-20 season. After losing the first quarter 23-22, Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies took over and blew out the Nets 118-79.

The Nets had plenty of problems in the loss, but one glaring issue was their shooting. Brooklyn shot 33.3% from the floor and an abysmal 16.7% from 3-point territory.

The Nets were also out-rebounded 59-42.

After putting up 51 points against the Celtics in Boston on Tuesday, Caris LeVert scored 14 points on a rough 6-for-19 shooting (0-for-5 from 3-point range).

Taurean Prince scored 15 points and also went 6-for-19 from the floor (2-for-8 from deep). Joe Harris (13) was the only other Nets starter to finish in double figures. Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen scored four and six points respectively.

Chris Chiozza had himself a career night. He reached double figures (14) for the first time in his NBA career. He went 5-for-8 from the floor (2-for-4 from deep).
