Mikal Bridges and Nets fight hard, but lose to Celtics on Saturday

The Nets were without Ben Simmons in addition to Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton in the second leg of a back-to-back against the Celtics on Saturday. The starters behind Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas got big minutes, even keeping the game close into the 4th quarters but the quasi-juggernaut Celtics were simply too much late. Brooklyn struggled shooting from beyond the arc, putting up 52 threes in total, and it could have maybe swung a different way had just a few more gone down.   Subscribe to Our Subtext to Get Texts from Adam & Doug 📲 https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonnets 📲 TEXT: 973-559-2422 (Only Available for US & Canada for Now) Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-nets/ Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA 📲 Follow Locked On Nets on Socials Locked On Nets https://twitter.com/LockedOnNets Adam Armbrecht https://twitter.com/AdamArmbrecht Doug Norrie https://twitter.com/DougNorrie Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! eBay Motors For parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
