The Brooklyn Nets made a statement Thursday night with Ben Simmons on Steve Nash‘s bench in Philadelphia against the Sixers with a 129-100 blowout win.
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving faced their former teammate, James Harden, and shut him down throughout the game (11 points on 3-17 from the field). The boos directed at former 76er Simmons were loud and the atmosphere had a playoff game feel to it, but the visitors got the last laugh.
Here’s how NBA fans on Twitter reacted to the blowout Nets win, KD and Joel Embiid trash-talking each other, and Ben Simmons getting booed by the home crowd.
