The Nets played the worst half in their history Friday night, en route to one of their worst beatings in years.
Coming out of the All-Star break, they played as if their minds were still on vacation and took a wire-to-wire thrashing by the Bulls, 131-87, before a sellout crowd of 21,286 at United Center.The Nets trailed by as many as 50, and were behind 63-29 at the break. They shot 24.4 percent overall in the first half and just 13.6 from behind the 3-point arc.
But Friday they got just 34 points from the starting lineup and shot just 12-for-44 from 3-point range. The Nets have to find some scoring. If they keep playing like this, the Nets could be looking up at their cross-river rivals by then, not down.
