Nets couldn’t quite give Jordi Fernandez upset of ex-team in OT loss to Nuggets

Brooklyn unable to upset Denver despite strong second half

Nuggets win 122-118 in OT despite 33 points from Cam Thomas

The Brooklyn Nets fell to the Denver Nuggets 122-118 in overtime on Wednesday night, despite a strong second-half performance in Jordi Fernandez's return to Denver. Fernandez, who spent the first four seasons of his career with the Nuggets, finished with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in his first game against his former team. He hit a pair of free throws with 2.1 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, but the Nets were unable to complete the comeback. Cam Thomas led the Nets with 33 points, including 21 in the second half. Seth Curry added 22 points, while Mikal Bridges had 20. Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 35 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. Jamal Murray added 21 points, while Aaron Gordon had 16. The Nets trailed by 14 points at halftime, but they rallied in the third quarter to take a five-point lead. The Nuggets tied the game in the fourth quarter, and the two teams traded baskets down the stretch. In overtime, the Nuggets took control of the game with a 6-0 run. The Nets were unable to recover, and they fell to 1-2 on the season. The loss was a disappointing one for the Nets, who were looking to build on their win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. However, they were unable to overcome a slow start and a strong performance from Jokic. The Nets will look to bounce back on Friday night when they host the Miami Heat.
