The Philadelphia 76ers opened up their first-round series with the Brooklyn Nets with a commanding 121-101 victory, thanks to a well-rounded team contribution. Now, they’ll look to go 2-0 before the series heads to Brooklyn for two games.
For the most part, Game 1 went according to script. Mikal Bridges was easily Brooklyn’s best player, scoring 23 of his 30 points in the first half alone. Outside of a decent Cameron Johnson game, the Nets struggled to get consistent production elsewhere. Spencer Dinwiddie threw several lobs that were Dinshittie, and Nic Claxton was mostly a non-factor in Game 1.
