It was just plain embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets rolled over in the second quarter and were humiliated in the third. And their defense folded like flimsy paper in a 153-121 blowout loss to the Kings on Tuesday night at Golden1 Center.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets became the first NBA team this season to allow 150 points, and the 153 were the most the Kings have mustered since 1993.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets (6-9) trailed by as many as 39 points on a night when they did not compete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cS\u2013t, we got smacked. They were better offensively and defensively. They played as a team four quarters,\u201d said Ben Simmons, who had 11 points and five rebounds off the bench. \u201cThey just played better than us. \u2026 They wanted it more. Obviously we didn\u2019t want it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the score knotted at 40-all early in the second quarter, the Kings went on a 29-4 run \u2014 and the Nets lost much of the positive energy that coach Jacque Vaughn had been working to instill since replacing the fired Steve Nash. If the so-called \u201cnew coach bounce\u201d is real, it may be wearing off. Vaughn is now 4-4 since taking the job, and the Nets are coming off consecutive blowouts.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Domontas-Sabonis.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Domantas Sabonis, who scored 17 points, dunks the ball during the Nets' 153-121 blowout loss to the Kings.\" class=\"wp-image-24670194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Domontas-Sabonis.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Domontas-Sabonis.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Domontas-Sabonis.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Domontas-Sabonis.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Domantas Sabonis, who scored 17 points, dunks the ball during the Nets\u2019 153-121 blowout loss to the Kings.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After TNT backed out of the Knicks-Jazz <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> to air this one, the nationwide audience was treated to an absolute caning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not acceptable from us,\u201d Simmons said. \u201cAll of us: Players, coaches, that\u2019s unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>As Kyrie Irving missed a seventh straight game because of his suspension, the Nets allowed Sacramento to shoot .602 from the field and .488 from 3-point range. They wasted another strong night from Kevin Durant, who had 27 points, six assists, four rebounds, and are in danger of wasting his stellar season.<\/p>\n<p>Edmond Sumner, with 18 points, was the only other Net to acquit himself well.<\/p>\n<p>Showing the same Achilles\u2019 heel so glaringly exposed by the Lakers two nights earlier, the Nets attacked in the paint on both ends of the court. And they put up little resistance as they were punished on offense and defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if our minds our bodies and souls are still in L.A. L.A. will do that to you sometimes. We definitely gave maximum effort against the Clippers [in a victory on Saturday] and we\u2019ve been reeling since,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cGive them credit. They basically kicked our butts. We all were a part of it. I\u2019m a part of it. We\u2019ve got another game on this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>. How will we respond with this last game on the trip [Thursday at Portland]?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kings shot 10-for-12 in that game-deciding blitz, including 6-for-6 inside the 3-point arc. The Nets shot 1-for-11 during the run, and just 1-for-8 in the paint.<\/p>\n<p>By the time Harrison Barnes\u2019 free throw left the Nets down 69-44, the clock read 2:22 remaining in the first half. There was no drama left in the game and no fight left in the Nets.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings, who have won six of eight, were led by Terence Davis, who scored a game-high 31 points, and center Domantas Sabonis, who had 17 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in outplaying Nic Claxton. And in truth, Vaughn had no better options to go to.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"803\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kevin-Durant-2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Kevin Durant, who scored 27 points, looks to make a move  on De'Aaron Fox during the Nets' loss.\" class=\"wp-image-24670208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kevin-Durant-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kevin-Durant-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kevin-Durant-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Kevin-Durant-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Kevin Durant, who scored 27 points, looks to make a move  on De\u2019Aaron Fox during the Nets\u2019 loss.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Nets fell behind right out of the gate, and were down 24-11 midway through the first quarter after a Kevin Huerter 3-pointer.<\/p>\n<p>Still trailing 30-20 after a Sabonis layup, the Nets clawed their way back.<\/p>\n<p>Seth Curry hit a 3-pointer off a Ben Simmons feed to pull them even at 40-all with 9:11 left before the break. But that\u2019s when the Nets gave up the ghost \u2014 and a 16-0 run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sequence was a little shattering to our confidence,\u201d Vaughn said.<\/p>\n<p>Davis sandwiched a steal and pair of 3-pointers around a Davion Mitchell jumper.

But it had long since been garbage time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey made shots. I mean, that\u2019s demoralizing when you see teams making shots,\u201d Durant said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like we didn\u2019t try. It just felt like they were just better than us on the offensive side of the ball.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
