SALT LAKE CITY: The Nets played hard but fell 112-111 in overtime against the Jazz. It was a tough loss, but there’s a silver lining for fans.

Nic Claxton got the Nets going first in OT, but Collin Sexton hit a three-pointer that shifted the momentum. The Nets had their chances but missed free throws and couldn’t capitalize on offensive rebounds.

With just seconds left, Evbuomwan made two free throws to give Brooklyn a brief lead. But Collier’s layup sealed the win for Utah.

Despite the loss, the Nets are focused on the future. They’re building through the draft and have four first-round picks coming up. They’ve been struggling lately, but this loss helps their lottery position.

Coach Jordi Fernandez emphasized the importance of focusing on their own game. The Nets have had injuries, but they’re determined to improve.

Even with key players missing, like Cam Thomas and D’Angelo Russell, the team fought hard. Evbuomwan stepped up with 22 points, while Ben Simmons contributed 14 points and nine assists.

The Nets had a chance to win but couldn’t finish strong. They’ll need to regroup and keep pushing as they look ahead to the draft and the rest of the season.
