"An endgame collapse kept the Nets winless without Michael Porter Jr. this season - and was a reminder of just how much this young team has to learn about winning. Brooklyn fell 103-98 in Memphis on Sunday, allowing the final 13 points to implode before 15,578 fans at FedExForum. The Nets fell to 0-7 without Porter, who sat out Sunday. They desperately needed his scoring and endgame savvy because it was a galling finish."
"For a second straight game, Brooklyn stumbled out of the starting block. But they erased a 16-point deficit to take a 98-90 lead with three minutes to play. Those final 180 seconds proved a nightmare, letting the Grizzlies - who played without star guard Ja Morant - to close on a 13-0 run. Noah Clowney and Tyrese Martin led the Nets with 17 points, though the former shot just 4-for-17 from the floor and a horrid 4-for-15 from 3-point range."
