James Harden is on pace to almost break his own single-season turnover record. Steve Nash called some of them careless, like when Saddiq Bey picked his pocket, then beat him to the loose ball on the other side of the floor. #Nets https://t.co/ofWTZ96INY pic.twitter.com/gy2xzfcYFe – 11:16 PM

From @BKN_NETSPR: KD has the longest streak of 20-point games to start a season in Nets NBA history with nine. Harden had his second triple-double of the season. Griffin’s 13 points were a season-high. – 9:41 PM

FINAL: Nets 96, Pistons 90
Kevin Durant (29 PTS, 10 REBS), James Harden (13 PTS, 10 ASTS, 10 REBS), Blake Griffin (13 PTS, 5 REBS) & the Nets make it FOUR straight. Things got chippy between the two sides, but Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge (16 PTS) sealed the deal in the fourth. – 9:29 PM

End of the third quarter: Nets lead the Pistons 78-62. Blake Griffin had a fast break dunk that had to feel good if you’re him. He’s been booed all night. Twice I thought James Harden was hurt and he responded with a 3. – 8:51 PM

Kevin Durant (21 PTS, 9 REBS), James Harden (13 PTS, 8 ASTS) & the Nets have turnt it up offensively. Brooklyn still had some lackadaisical turnovers in the period, but if they continue to shoot like this at 48%, they’ll be just fine. – 8:49 PM

Nash might need to sit Harden. Bey just ripped him and Harden let the ball go to the backcourt. He didn’t touch it or try to grab as he walked toward it. Bey picked it up and had an easy dunk. Haven’t seen anything like that ever. – 8:40 PM

Nets and Pistons tied at 37 with 2:33 left in the first half. Last few minutes were pretty meh. Pistons shooting 2-for-13 from 3. If they even doubled that percentage the Nets are probably two possessions or more. Harden is getting to the line a bit. Maybe encouraging? – 8:00 PM

Duane Rankin: “We keep acting like this is normal. When we go in the locker room afterward, ‘Oh he passed Steve Nash, Mark Jackson. Game ball.’ It’s bigger than that, man. It really is.” Devin Booker on Chris Paul rising up to 3rd all-time on the #NBA75 career assists list. #Suns -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / November 3, 2021
Gerald Bourguet: Monty on Chris Paul moving into 3rd on the NBA’s all-time assist list: “I’m just happy to be along for the ride. When we traded for Chris, I had no idea, ’cause you don’t look at it.” Called it a “running deal” with him moving up all these historic lists -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / November 3, 2021
Phoenix guard Chris Paul passed two of the NBA’s great playmakers to move into third in NBA history in assists during Tuesday night’s 112-100 victory over the New Orleans. Paul moved into third when he notched his eighth assist of the game with 1:33 left in the second quarter with a pass to Jae Crowder for an open 3-pointer to give him 10,336 for his career. -via The Athletic / November 3, 2021
