The Sixers getting trounced in one game by the Brooklyn Nets is certainly not worth freaking out about. Despite all of the Ben Simmons extra circulars that were surrounding the game, it was just another regular season game in March. It was just the first loss the Sixers have suffered when James Harden has taken the court.
The Nets had an unreal first quarter, shooting-wise on Thursday night. They put up 40 points on 65% shooting from the field. Tobias Harris who was tasked with guarding Kevin Durant, struggled to catch up with KD, allowing an 11 point quarter for the future Hall-of-Famer.
