Brooklyn couldn't sweep the season series.
Following a five-day break, the Brooklyn Nets posted a clunker on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies. In their third meeting of the season, FedExForum bore witness to a heated and intense blowout.
The Nets conceded 36 points inside, which may seem like a jarring number until it's compared to Memphis' total score at the break of 69. But it wasn't just Jordi Fernandez's squad that struggled defensively. As 13 points separated the out-of-conference opponents at the halftime break, each had operated offensively in contrasting ways. The Nets relied on a balanced attack that saw seven players record six points or more as Ja Morant and Desmond Bane's 27 combined led the way for Memphis.Morant faded away and connected on a mid-range jumper at the buzzer, jawing at Brooklyn's head coach before heading to the locker room.
Memphis immediately responded, raising Brooklyn by five and exploding for an 18-5 run of its own. Lost in the Morant madness was Santi Aldama, who was already well on his way to a 20-point performance.
