In the first matchup of a renewed rivalry between the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers, the Nets cruised to one of their most impressive wins of the season on the road, crushing the Sixers 129-100.
James Harden’s first test against his former team couldn’t have gone worse for Philadelphia. The trio of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry were all highly efficient from the field, scoring a combined 71 points, while Harden had one of his worst shooting games of the season.
Harden was held to 11 points on 3-of-17 shooting, and Brooklyn cruised after dropping 40 points on the Sixers in the first quarter.
