Kevin Ollie's Debut as Nets Coach Marked by Blowout Loss to Raptors

In his first game leading the Nets, Kevin Ollie's team faced a significant defeat, highlighting challenges ahead.

Kevin Ollie began his tenure as the Nets' interim head coach with a 121-93 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Cam Johnson, recently signed to a four-year, $94.5 million extension, was moved to the bench in Ollie's first game.
Ben Simmons was given a mandate to drive more, but struggled to make an impact, reflecting ongoing adjustments under the new coach.
The Nets' performance showed some signs of life but was marred by a high turnover rate and a franchise-worst in transition points allowed.
Despite the rough start, Ollie emphasizes effort, energy, and a collective fight for improvement.
