Brooklyn Nets: 3 takeaways from big Game 1 win at Philadelphia
The Brooklyn Nets weathered an early storm and then dismantled the favored Philadelphia 76ers en route to a 111-102 win in Game 1 of their 1st-round series.
The Brooklyn Nets weathered an early flurry from the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference First Round series Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Then the Nets systematically took the 76ers apart en route to a convincing 111-102 victory to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.
Philadelphia made a run early in the second half, riding some of the momentum from Jimmy Butler‘s buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the second quarter to cut what had been a 17-point deficit to just two.
