Nets Collapse Late in Summer Opener | Brooklyn Nets News

The Brooklyn Nets fell short in a nail-biting 79-76 loss to the Sacramento Kings, despite building an 18-point lead and showcasing rookie Egor Demin’s standout 23-point performance. A late Kings three-pointer with five seconds left sealed the win, fueled by Brooklyn’s costly 20 turnovers versus Sacramento’s nine. The game swung dramatically in the second quarter with an 18-0 Kings run, and though the Nets battled back to tie it at halftime, they couldn’t hold off Sacramento’s final surge. Defense was strong early, but turnovers proved fatal. The Nets return Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
