The Brooklyn Nets kept things competitive against Philadelphia 76ers in the first half of Game 1, only for it all to fall apart in the second half, as the visitors lost 121-101. Brooklyn could only watch as a barrage of long-range Philly daggers fell through the hoop. The Sixers connected on a record-setting 21 threes on Saturday afternoon.
Despite much of the damage being done from beyond the arc, Brooklyn’s forwards know that the real work has to be done down low, working the glass. Philadelphia snagged 38 rebounds to Brooklyn’s 35, with 14 coming on the offensive end.
