The Brooklyn Nets began the back half of their 2025-26 campaign on Feb. 19, 2026, with a decisive defeat, falling to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game that underlined the club’s ongoing struggles.
Cleveland controlled the matchup from the opening tip, leaving Brooklyn searching for answers in what has widely been described as a tanking season. The loss set a discouraging tone for the Nets as they return from the All-Star break and attempt to navigate the remaining schedule.
Brooklyn’s setback against the Cavaliers continues a trend of lopsided results that have dropped the Nets further down the Eastern Conference standings. Meanwhile, Cleveland’s convincing performance reinforced its push for playoff positioning during the stretch run.
The Nets will look to rebound in their next outing, while the Cavaliers aim to build on the momentum generated by Thursday’s victory.
