He probably thought before passing the skin to Nic Claxton. But seeing that the latter did not cut towards the circle, Kevin Durant he was responsible for sanctioning the recording of 3 points… the 89th, 90th and 91st points for his team! This shot capped off a nightmare first half for the Warriors and a dream for the Nets.
At this point, “KD” was already on 21 points and his team had just broken a franchise record for most points scored in a quarter, 46 drives in the first, which the Nets narrowly missed in the second (45 ).
Leading by 40 points at halftime (91-51), the New Yorkers broke a franchise record with 91 points scored in the first period, the third-best collective performance in history. The Suns break the all-time record with 107 points in the first half in a game against the Nuggets in November 1990 (173 total). In second place we find… these same Warriors, but in the right role, with 92 points passed to the Bulls defense the night Klay Thompson took over the 3-point record.
The Nets scored 91 points in the first half of their game against the Warriors tonight. This is the 3rd highest point total in NBA history.

This is basketball
« They were phenomenal in the first half noted Steve Kerr, whose team helped the Nets well by dropping 21 balls, with 7 coming to Jordan Poole alone, generating 36 runs. ” They appear to be in good health. Obviously they are very talented. Their boys play well together. They have good pace “, continues the coach of the reigning champions, deprived of three starters (Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins), while Kyrie Irving was missing up front.
« It’s the Warriors, we always respect them no matter who’s on the court. They have a system and players calibrated for the title. Even if these guys aren’t there, they have this mentality of taking over, so they can’t be taken lightly. pays tribute to Kevin Durant who appreciated the Nets’ concentration to start this part.
The former Warriors player finished as the leading scorer (23 points) in a lineup where the vote was exceptionally well distributed: nine players with ten or more points, a franchise record equaled.
« I think we had the word professionalism in mind and being mature enough to play tonight was a first step. Our approach has been quite good, especially in the following first quarter (start slowly) in the last two games. This is what happens when you arrive at work and are ready to work from the start Judge Jacque Vaughn, whose team has generated more assists than it has rebounded (32).
This ratio of 42 assists to 54 shots scored (including 21/33 from 3-pointers!!) makes Ben Simmons say: “ This is basketball for me. »
