Everybody knew taking on Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio Spurs in Texas would be a tall task. I mean, this Brooklyn Nets team, while seemingly on the right track, is still just a six-win squad.
It showed on Saturday night when the Spurs drubbed them to a 29-point victory.
Kawhi Leonard starred with 30 points on 10-of-18 from the floor including 4-7 from three and 6-6 from the free throw line. LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in with 12 points and nine rebounds.
For Brooklyn, Bojan Bogdanovich led the way with 20 points. He drilled two threes and added four rebounds.
The game was firmly out or reach once the first quarter concluded. San Antonio scored a ridiculous 41 points to Brooklyn’s 26.
The Nets will next take on the Rockets in Houston on Monday night.
