In a surprising turn of events, the Brooklyn Nets faced consecutive defeats, first against the Boston Celtics and then against the Philadelphia 76ers. An interesting side note and fun fact, Dillon Brooks, who played for the Memphis Grizzlies, wore jersey number 24. He had been engaging in trash talk about LeBron James, calling him an old man and challenging anyone to score 40 points against him in order to earn his respect.

As the series progressed to Game 6, the Los Angeles Lakers held a 3-2 lead, needing just one more win to advance to the next round. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, were eager to secure a win and tie the series. However, the Lakers brought their A-game, dominating the game with a convincing 125-85 victory. Brooks got played and quit the internet, opting to get off social media after the embarrassing loss to the Lakers.This win propelled the Lakers to the next round, while the Grizzlies faced an early end to their season.

Unfortunately for Dillon Brooks, the loss proved costly, as he subsequently lost his job with the Memphis Grizzlies. The defeat may have served as a tipping point, leading to consequences for Brooks and his future.
