Philadelphia has dropped 19 of 23 following a 3-0 start, and first-year coach Brett Brown told ESPN.com that those struggles won't come to an end unless his team figures things out defensively.

"We have to do what we're doing better. We don't do what we're doing well," Brown said. "Really a lot of what has happened is we don't get back on defense, in transition defense."

Paul Pierce had a season-high 27 points off the bench and Brook Lopez added 22 after missing two games with a sprained left ankle for the Nets, who gave up 12 3-pointers and were outrebounded 51-31 in the six-point loss against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. Brooklyn is 28th in the league with 8.7 3s allowed per game and 23rd with a minus-1.9 rebounding differential.

"It's easy to sit here and talk to you guys about what kind of night I had, but bottom line, I really don't care. We lost the game. That's pretty much all that matters," Pierce said. "We come out here and try to win as a team. It's not about how good Paul Pierce is scoring. Tonight we had the inability to rebound, we didn't defend the 3 and it cost us the game. That's all that I'm worried about right now."
