Bitter Game 3 loss is hard lesson learned for Steve Nash, Nets

The Brooklyn Nets looked like they were going to get the doors blown off them in the first quarter as they trailed 30-11 with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton appearing to be unstoppable during that stretch. The Nets defense would lock down for the remaining three quarters surrendering just 56 points, while Antetokounmpo and Middleton combined for 68 of the team's 86 eventual points.
Brooklyn held a 83-80 advantage with just over 1 minute to play after Kevin Durant drained a 3-pointer, but the Bucks would go on a 6-0 run to end the game as Durant missed the potential game tying three at the final whistle. Durant went 11 for 28 from the field for 30 points, Kyrie Irving dropped 22, while Bruce Brown added 16. https://twitter.com/BrooklynNets/status/1403171787446304776?s=19 The Nets looked lost offensively as Durant had an off shooting night, but the most disappointing aspect was the lack of adjustments from Steve Nash and the coaching staff as the offense looked bogged down and relied heavily on Brown to carry the scoring load early. Why Nash allowed round to be the team's primary score and option on two of the last three offensive possession remains a mystery. The loss was a bitter one and a not-friendly reminder of Nash's lack of coaching experience, particularly in the playoffs, as Milwaukee executed and make key plays down the stretch while the Nets looked disjointed and unorganized in their offensive schemes.
