Brooklyn Nets coach Jordi Fernandez didn't want to dwell on the negatives after their loss to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.

BOTTOM LINE: Brooklyn plays Boston looking to end its six-game home slide. The Nets are 2-8 against Eastern Conference opponents. Brooklyn ranks last in the Eastern Conference scoring 41.7 points per game in the paint. The Celtics are 1-3 against opponents in the Atlantic Division. Boston is 4-3 in games decided by at least 10 points.

Brooklyn will also be without Haywood Highsmith, who has yet to make his Nets’ debut after being acquired from the Heat this offseason. Rookie Ben Saraf is listed as out with an ankle injury, though others in Danny Wolf and Nolan Traore are back from G League assignment.

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez is pleased with his team's progress during recent games following a historically bad start to the season.

The Celtics responded with an 18-3 run, led by Jaylen Brown, to put the game away. Not only did the defeat drop the Nets to 2-12 on the season, it also dropped them to 0-7 in Brooklyn, matching the longest home losing streak in franchise history, previously set in the 2009-10 season.

One might think that the Sacramento Kings coaching staff did not think much of starting Boston Celtics big man Neemias Queta given the team cut him in favor of older centers who were on their way out of the NBA.
