The Brooklyn Nets have been a competitive basketball team throughout the early part of the NBA season.
That was not the case at Barclays Center against the defending champion Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
Brooklyn's 25-point defeat was its most lopsided of the season.
Jayson Tatum led the way for the Celtics with 36 points and 10 assists, while Zaire Williams paced the Nets with 26 points.

Boston was coming off an Emirates NBA Cup loss on Tuesday night to the short-handed Hawks, and Joe Mazzulla's club clearly played with a purpose.
Brooklyn led by 13 points early, but Boston turned the tide to lead by as many as 30 points.
The Nets will have Thursday off before traveling to MSG to face the Knicks on Friday night.
