Holmes, New York Daily NewsMon, December 15, 2025 at 2:23 AM UTC·3 min readNEW YORK — With Jordi Fernández sidelined by the flu and Steve Hetzel stepping in, the Brooklyn Nets put together one of their most balanced efforts of the season, beating the shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks 127-82 Sunday at Barclays Center. The win pushed Brooklyn to 7-18 and marked its fourth victory in the last six games. Egor Demin drove a win that tied the largest margin in franchise history, delivering the kind of response his head coach had publicly challenged him to show two nights earlier in Dallas, finishing with a team-high 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting to go with three rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes.
