Brooklyn Nets Fire Coach Avery Johnson

It didn't take long for the Brooklyn Nets to make a shocking move in their new digs in New York.

Weeks after he was named coach of the month, the Nets decided to part ways with Avery Johnson after the team struggled during the month of December, posting a 3-10 record. In November the Nets got off to a sizzling start, 11-4, including beating their cross town rivals the New York Knicks in the first match-up between the two teams at the Barclays Center.

The Nets, 14-14, put up a lackluster effort on Christmas day, losing to the Boston Celtics 93-76 to fall out of second place in the Atlantic Division. ESPN

As of now, no interim coach has been named.
