Brooklyn Nets head coach Jason Kidd has claimed that he was happy with his team on Saturday night despite the defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Despite playing the game at the Staples Center without Paul Pierce, Brook Lopez, Kevin Garnett and Deron Williams, the Nets came close to causing an upset before being beaten 110-103.
"Those guys that suited up definitely gave me everything they had," Kidd told reporters.
"We just came up short, but the effort was there with the 10 guys that we had and we put ourselves in a position to win a game on the road against a very talented team."
The Nets will look to bounce back from the loss when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
