Nets Suffer 119-102 Loss to Wizards, Ending Winning Streak

The Brooklyn Nets faced the Washington Wizards on February 7, 2025, at Barclays Center, where they were defeated 119-102, thus halting their three-game winning streak. The game marked a significant moment for both teams; while the Wizards improved their record with this win, the Nets struggled to find their flow, particularly in the second half. Led by Jordan Poole's 19 points, six Wizards scored in double figures, showcasing a balanced offensive effort.

Details from the game include:

• For Washington, Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert both contributed significantly with 17 points each, while Bub Carrington added 16 points.
• Keon Johnson led the scoring for the Nets with 25 points, while Cam Johnson chipped in 17 points.

• With this loss, the Nets fell to 17-34 and extended their home losing record to 6-17.

Looking ahead, the Wizards will face the Eastern Conference-leading Cavaliers next, while the Nets prepare to host the Miami Heat at Barclays Center.
