The headlines from opening night in the NBA centered around the Nets, after the blew the Warriors off the floor. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant took the floor together and were unstoppable. Kyrie put up 26 points, four rebounds and four assists in only 25 minutes. Durant scored 22 points, with five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 25 minutes. The Nets also seemingly have the deepest bench in the entire league. Caris LeVert shined in his role on the second unit, scoring 20 points, while grabbing nine rebounds and dishing five assists in 25 minutes. This team will be incredibly tough to beat, when healthy.
The Celtics pulled off the one-point upset over Milwaukee in their season opener. Their two young stars, Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown, both shined in the win. Tatum scored 30 points in 33 minutes, hitting six shots from long range. Brown scored 33 points on 13-of-23 shooting, while also adding five rebounds, four assists, two steals and no turnovers. In fact, Boston had just six turnovers overall, which is a recipe for success. They will need to ensure they don’t give this stacked Nets team extra possessions today.
