The Brooklyn Nets (7-18) had been knocked off-balance by the Dallas Mavericks on Friday as they couldn't make the plays they normally make in the fourth quarter.

Egor Demin scored 17 points, Noah Clowney added 16 and the Brooklyn Nets matched the franchise record for margin of victory, never trailing in a 127-82 romp over the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night.

Brooklyn tied a franchise record with a 45-point rout of the Bucks, cruising to a 127-82 win as Milwaukee continued to struggle without Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Nets shot 52.9% (45-85) FG, a season-high 44.2% (19-43) 3PT and 18-19 (94.7%) FT. It is their first time shooting 50-40-90 as a team in a win since 11/27/24 at Phoenix.

At halftime, they trailed by 17 points. By the end of the third quarter, the Nets’ lead ballooned to 28 points. Less than three minutes into the fourth quarter, it was up over 30 and ultimately stopped at 45 points (tying the Nets’ largest win in franchise history) as the buzzer sounded to end Sunday’s embarrassing effort.

The Milwaukee Bucks will try to win consecutive games for the first time since October when they play in Brooklyn vs. the Nets on Dec. 14.
