Said just a while ago Boston would need to pick up someone like Blake Griffin to become a legit contender and Brooklyn go and nab him. Making them complete and likely the commanding favourite, though hinging on Durant's dominance. No Durant or Griffin here, Kemba all smiles early, Boston up. Kyrie having a game vs his former team though, putting up a super efficient 40, making contested almost blocked shots frequently. Brown struggling with his shot, just 5 of 23, but 4 steals. Tatum gets it going in the 3rd, with 31 on the night and Smart playing well in his return. Harden with 22, but turning the ball over 7 times, Shamet with six 3's off the bench. Brooklyn as usual shooting lights out, in the victory. Kemba pretty quiet after the 1st.
