Nets couldn’t have had a much better start. They’re up 40-23 after 1. KD and Kyrie each have 11. Harden has been a non-factor so far and their defense has been solid. The moment hasn’t been too big for this team early. – 8:20 PM

Nets 40, Sixers 23 at the end of the first. Nets are shooting 65.4 percent from the floor, while the Sixers are just 6-of-22. Embiid has 16 on 10-of-13 from the FT line (!) but not getting much help. Harden is 1-for-6. – 8:20 PM

Kyrie Irving just hit a pull-up 3 at the buzzer to give the Nets a 40-23 lead at the end of the first quarter. That’s about as sharp a quarter of basketball the Nets have played since the Feb. 10 James Harden trade.
They shot 65% from the field, 50% from 3 and had 9 AST on 17 FG – 8:20 PM

Biggest takeaway early is how flawed these teams are. These defensive matchups are comical. Kyrie guarding Harden. Harris on KD. Maxey can’t guard Curry either. Loving the intensity of the game though. – 8:10 PM

#Sixers rightly put Thybulle on Kyrie Irving, but Seth Curry is getting good looks against Maxey. Irving is checking James Harden on the other end, and holding up so far. #Nets shooting 11-of-15 and up 26-15 with 4:50 left in the first. #NBA #76ers – 8:06 PM
