Brooklyn Nets hit the negative record books after 76ers Game 2 rout (Highlights)
The Brooklyn Nets were on the wrong side of history, allowing an abysmal 51 third-quarter points against the Philadelphia 76ers en route to a 22-point loss.
Philadelphia 76ers 145 (1-1)
Brooklyn Nets 123 (1-1)

In 1962, the Los Angeles Lakers scored 51 fourth-quarter points against the Detroit Pistons in the Western Division Finals. (Today, we would call this the Western Conference Finals.)
Those 51 points set the NBA record for most points a quarter; a record that stood unopposed for 55 years.
Unfortunately — both for the sake of the Laker’s historical record and for fans of basketball in Brooklyn — that all changed tonight.
