The Brooklyn Nets' three-game run of wins ended on Wednesday night at home to the Washington Wizards, and head coach Jordi Fernández pointed at his team’s defense as a major culprit. He said: “We didn’t defend the whole game.

The Nets lost to the Wizards 119-102 after a second half that saw them trail by as many as 25 points due to the overall lack of effectiveness from Brooklyn on both ends of the floor. The Nets were playing on the second night of a back-to-back and that resulted in other players having to pick up some slack,

The Nets beat the Rockets, an elite team, not once but twice. Without Cam Johnson, no less. After he returned, they lost to the NBA worst-Wizards.
