Watching the Brooklyn Nets is like the movie Groundhog Day: different day, same ending.
Replace Billy Murray's funny moments with head scratching Jacque Vaughn coaching decisions and frustration from Nets fans.
The Nets were outscored 32-18 in the fourth quarter against the Knicks at Barclays after blowing an 18-point lead on Sunday against the Clippers and ending that game being outgunned 22-0.
On Tuesday, Mikal Bridges carried the day offensively with 36 points, Cam Johnson added 19 and Nic Claxton had 8 points and 17 rebounds.
Johnson started the first quarter strong, but he missed a potential game tying three inside of ten seconds and faded in the second half.
Spencer Dinwiddie played 19 minutes, dealt out three assists and grabbed zero rebounds and produced no points.
Julis Randle and Jalen Brunson poured in 30 apiece to help New York grind out a victory.
The Nets have now blown double digit fourth quarter leads against the Heat, Blazers, Clippers and Knicks over the last week.
Vaughn's team has gone through offensive dry spell after dry spell and his lineup combinations are not producing desirable results.
The type of loss the Nets suffered on Tuesday night: a nationally televised against a bitter area rival with another late collapse is grounds to make a coaching change.
