The Brooklyn Nets’ defensive issues resurfaced on Monday night, leading to a loss against the Phoenix Suns. The defeat, reported on January 19, 2026, underscored how persistent breakdowns on that end of the court left the Nets unable to keep pace.
Brooklyn struggled to contain Phoenix throughout the game, surrendering repeated scoring runs and failing to generate the stops needed to mount a comeback. The Suns capitalized on open looks and defensive miscues, ultimately sending the Nets to another frustrating defeat.
The latest setback adds to Brooklyn’s season-long challenge of tightening its defense, a problem that again proved too much to overcome against a high-powered opponent.
