Alex Schiffer: Halftime: Nets lead the Magic 86-56. Kyrie Irving is putting on a clinic. He’s got 41 points on 14-for-19 shooting. Next-highest Net has 10. Franchise-record for points in a half. Speaking of those, I think it’s the swan song for Deron Williams’ 57-point franchise record.

Kyrie’s first half:
41 points, 14-for-19 from the field, 6-for-7 from the three-point line, 7-for-7 from the foul line, three rebounds, three assists — in 23 minutes.
An unbelievable stretch.
Nets up 86-56 at halftime. – 8:14 PM

Wilt had 41 at halftime of his 100-point game.
Kyrie at halftime tonight: 41.
I’m just saying.
Incidentally, the NBA record for first-half points: 53, by David Thompson and George Gervin, both on April 9, 1978 as they chased the scoring record on that season’s final day. – 8:13 PM

Goran Dragic will start in place of Seth Curry (ankle) alongside Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Bruce Brown and Andre Drummond tonight against the Orlando Magic. Interesting decision by Steve Nash to start Dragic over Patty Mills. – 6:31 PM

Kyrie has company. Unvaccinated Mets and Yankees ineligible to play in home games
The same private sector mandate keeping the Nets’ Irving sidelined applies to Mets and Yankees. newsday.com/sports/basebal… – 5:57 PM

The NYC mandate is inconsistent and makes no sense. But if there’s one person consistent with inconsistency, it’s Kyrie Irving. sports.yahoo.com/kyrie-irving-s… – 4:43 PM

Spoke to a City Hall spokesperson and the Yankees and Mets fall under the same private sector mandate as Kyrie Irving and the Nets. No difference because it’s an outdoor sport. Spokesperson cautioned that things could change by Opening Day.
Story posted shortly – 2:45 PM

That’s six 50-point games in 10 days.
March 5 – LeBron James
March 6 – Jayson Tatum
March 8 – Kyrie Irving
March 11 – LeBron James
March 13 – Kevin Durant
March 14 – Karl-Anthony Towns
That’s already one shy of the most ever in March.
There are 17 days left in March. – 10:39 PM

More on this storyline
Tim Reynolds: Most points in a first half, last 25 years: 42 — Kobe Bryant, 3/28/03 41 — Kyrie Irving, tonight 40 — Klay Thompson, 12/5/16 39 — Zach LaVine, 4/9/21 -via Twitter @ByTimReynolds / March 15, 2022
It was not all doom and gloom for the Lakers, with James recording his 10,000th assist in the NBA, becoming the first player in league history with 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists. But unfortunately for James there was little time to dwell on the achievement, instead forced to try and find a way to inspire the struggling Lakers back to life. -via FOXSports.com / March 14, 2022
James set the mark by passing the ball to Carmelo Anthony for a 3-pointer early in the second quarter, notching his second assist of the game and 10,000th of his career. “I get lost for words anytime things like this are happening to me because of where I come from,” he said. “I automatically start thinking to my hometown of Akron [Ohio] and my upbringing and where I come from and the dreams that I had of being in this league and playing at the highest level.” -via ESPN / March 14, 2022
