We could all use a couple of days off.
It wasn’t pretty —and it got positively ugly— as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the short-handed Brooklyn Nets, 124-108. With the loss, the Nets are now 2-3 in second games of back-to-back’s and fall to 14-11 on the season while the 76ers rise to 17-7.
The Nets, of course, were without Kevin Durant due to health and safety protocols and Kyrie Irving who has a sprained middle finger on his shooting hand. KD is likely out for the week; Irving should be back Tuesday vs. Detroit, per Steve Nash.
