First, before we get into it: want to send our thoughts to those affected by the horrific act of violence earlier today in Brooklyn.

Without Allen, he’ll be the guy looking to make life hell on the Nets on the inside as well as battle Andre Drummond and Nic Claxton on the boards. On the season overall, they only allowed teams to shoot 60 percent inside the restricted area, best in the NBA. However, after the break and as the injuries piled up, their rim protection worsened as teams shot 65 percent from the field at the rim, a seven percent jump from before the break. The size will definitely help on the boards, and most importantly at the rim.

He finds that crack in the defense by faking a screen for Brown and then repositioning at the top of the arc. The time of the contest is slated for 3:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcasted on ABC. As you were watching, we were just very patient and allowed the game to come to us,” said Kyrie Irving. “We knew some of the adjustments they made towards the end of the game last time. After all, accounting for two all-world scorers in the same play and in the same general vicinity is quite the tall task. Brooklyn left their foot on the gas pedal on both ends of the floor to start the third. Rather than having Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving initiate most of their sets — as they had for a majority of the season — coach Steve Nash and his assistants switched things up. Cleveland went on a 9-2 burst to slice the deficit to 13 before the Nets superstar came off the bench at the 7:37 mark. Claxton and Mills were the first Nets off the bench for the Nets. Brooklyn began to gather some separation shortly after, getting out in transition and building a nine-point lead (23-14) with 3:52 left. Irving paved the way with 11 first-quarter points, and Brooklyn finished out the final three minutes of play on a 17-6 burst to take a 20-point lead. At the 7:12 mark of the first, the Nets commanded a 15-7 lead. Kevin Durant followed with a double-double of 25 points (9-of-16 shooting from the field and 1-of-2 shooting from behind the arc) as well as 11 assists, with two steals, three blocks, and only one turnover in 42 minutes. It’ll be a great challenge for us,” said Steve Nash looking ahead to facing the Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. “For a new group to play a team like that’s terrific on both ends is going to be something that hopefully brings out the best in us.”

Get a recap of the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Brooklyn Nets basketball game.

The Nets beat the Celtics 4-1 in the first round last season. “So still a lot of markers to meet.” Brooklyn and Cleveland both went 44-38 but the Nets clinched the tiebreaker by beating the Cavs at Barclays Center last Friday to finish 3-1 against them. “He’s working out; he’s starting to do more with both hands. “I always say about Kyrie in a March Madness, one-game type of situation, he’s a tough guy to bet against," former Cavs teammate Kevin Love said. It was a bigger lead than Brooklyn had in any first quarter during the regular season. Darius Garland scored 34 points for the Cavaliers, who have another chance to earn the No. 8 seed. "Again, seen this movie before but still — I think that there’s just times where he comes out and plays out of his mind and that’s why he’s a future Hall of Famer. So you just kind of have to tip your hat to him. ... Brooklyn went 1/3 against Boston during the regular season. With Durant and Irving, they are far more dangerous than the usual No. 7 seed. But that’s damn near impossible to overcome.” "Again, give our guys credit for getting back in it.
