Brooklyn 150, Orlando 108: Nets roll thanks to classic Irving performance
Kyrie. Irving. ‘That’s the whole tweet’.
Irving scored a career-high 60 points Tuesday night, setting a Brooklyn Nets franchise record. Irving made 20 of 31 field goal attempts, 12 of 13 free throw attempts, and 8 of 12 three-point attempts as the Brooklyn Nets routed the Orlando Magic, 150-108.
Behind Irving’s otherworldly play, the Nets set an all-time franchise record for points scored in any half of play (86 points scored in Tuesday’s first half). Consequently, the 86 points Brooklyn scored were the most points the Orlando Magic have ever given up in a half in team history, and Irving’s 41 first half points were the most the franchise has ever given up to a single player in any half.
