BKN vs CLE Highlight of The New Big Three First Game
Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers The First Show of New Big Three Jan 20, 2021 Kevin Durant 38 PTS 12 REB 8 AST 4 BLK Kyrie Irving 37 PTS 3 AST 3 BLK James Harden 21 PTS 10 REB 12 AST Kyrie Irving needed some time. The new-look Nets will require some as well. Irving returned from his personal ''pause'' and scored 37 points in his first game with Kevin Durant and James Harden but Brooklyn's ''Big 3'' couldn't keep up with Cleveland's Collin Sexton, who scored 42 and led the Cavaliers to a 147-135 double-overtime win on Wednesday night. Sexton made four 3-pointers - most of them over Irving - and scored 15 points in the second OT. He dropped two 3s and fed Taurean Prince for another in a dizzying, 55-second span as Cleveland put it away. While it was tough to lose, Irving was impressed by Sexton, who looked a lot like Irving on one of his scoring tears. '''Two overtimes for my first game back?'' said Irving, who played a career-high 48 minutes in his first game since Jan. 5. ''You gotta love NBA ball, though. I was smiling when Collin Sexton was making those shots.'' Durant scored 38 points and Harden added 21 as Brooklyn's trio of superstars combined for 96 points in their first game together. But it wasn't enough to outlast Sexton, who missed Cleveland's last five games with a sprained ankle. The Cavs threw some exotic defenses at the Nets, who only got Irving back at practice on Tuesday and haven't had time to work on much. ''Look, this is the first night,'' Brooklyn coach Steve Nash said. ''We seemed a little lost at times. We were a little flat and disjointed at times.'' As Sexton knocked down one big shot after another in the second OT, players on Cleveland's bench tackled each other in delight. Prince, acquired in the four-team deal that brought Harden to Brooklyn, scored 17 in his Cavs debut and Larry Nance Jr. had 15. Sexton will forever be linked to Irving. He was selected by Cleveland with the draft pick the Cavs got from Boston in the trade for Irving in 2017. Like Irving, Sexton wears No. 2, and like Irving, he makes big shots. ''I definitely accepted the challenge,'' Sexton said. ''I knew it wasn't going to be easy - because it's Kyrie.'' Irving had missed Brooklyn's last seven games, leaving on Jan. 7 to address some issues he didn't specify while speaking with reporters Tuesday. Irving only said he needed space to work through some issues to find balance in his life. While he was away, the Nets rocked the league by pulling off the blockbuster deal for Harden, whose arrival has made Brooklyn the favorite to unseat Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference and a legit NBA title threat - maybe. Before the game, Nash admitted being ''curious'' about how his trio of superstars would align on the floor. ''But I'm not in a hurry,'' he said, stressing it may take time for Durant, Irving and Harden to figure things out. The Nets are indeed a work in progress. There were moments of sloppiness, miscommunication and even confusion as Brooklyn's players tried to find some cohesion in just Harden's third game. ''We'll have good nights, great nights,'' Irving said. ''I'm excited for what's to come.'' The Nets overcame a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter and tied it at 113-all on Irving's putback with 1:10 left. In the first OT, after Durant's free throws put the Nets up 127-124, Sexton hit a 3-pointer from up top over Irving with 1.2 seconds left. Durant's last chance, a contested 3-pointer at the horn, was short. The Cavs weren't intimidated by Brooklyn's firepower or flash. In the second quarter, Sexton ran back on defense and cleanly flicked the ball away from Durant as he was going in on a breakaway dunk. Irving's return to the Nets was also just his second game in Cleveland since he was traded by the Cavs after the 2017 season. Strangely, Irving had missed each of his team's previous visits to Ohio since his debut with the Boston Celtics four years ago. It was Irving's jumper late in Game 7 that helped the Cavs win the 2016 title, and the team saluted him with a video tribute in the first quarter. Many of the 2,000 fans in Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse stood and saluted Irving, who touched his chest and waved in appreciation. TIP-INS Nets: Harden added 12 assists and 10 rebounds. A prolific scorer and volume shooter, Harden didn't attempt a shot in the first quarter. ... Brooklyn made its first 10 shots, but let the Cavs scored 17 straight bridging the first and second quarters. Cavaliers: G Darius Garland remains sidelined with a sprained right shoulder. He could be back Friday. ... G/F Dylan Windler will return Friday after being sidelined since opening night, when he broke his left hand.

Houston Rockets trade James Harden to Brooklyn Nets in 4-team megadeal
The Nets and Rockets announced the trade Thursday morning. Brooklyn dealt Houston a package that includes guard Caris LeVert and three first-round draft picks. League sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne that the Rockets will trade LeVert to the Indiana Pacers for Victor Oladipo. The Rockets and Pacers have not yet announced that deal. Center Jarrett Allen and forward Taurean Prince are headed from the Nets to the Cavaliers, while the Rockets receive Cleveland guard Dante Exum and Brooklyn forward Rodions Kurucs. Houston also receives three unprotected first-round picks from Brooklyn -- in 2022, 2024 and 2026 -- plus pick swaps in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027, the Nets announced. The Rockets also get Cleveland's 2022 first-round pick, via the Milwaukee Bucks, and Houston is sending a 2023 second-round pick to the Pacers, sources told ESPN. Brooklyn also gets a 2024 second-round pick from the Cavaliers. The Nets have three open roster spots to fill out their bench, if they choose -- a $5.7 million tax midlevel, the minimum exception and likely a $5.7 million disabled player exception. The megadeal reunites Harden with former Oklahoma City teammate Kevin Durant in Brooklyn and positions the Nets, who also have All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, as title contenders in the Eastern Conference. "Adding an All-NBA player such as James to our roster better positions our team to compete against the league's best," Nets general manager Sean Marks said in a statement released by the team. "James is one of the most prolific scorers and playmakers in our game, and we are thrilled to bring his special talents to Brooklyn. "While we are excited to welcome James and his family to the Nets, we also want to thank the players who are departing. Caris, Jarrett, Rodions and Taurean were instrumental to the team's success and have made an enormous impact on our organization. It has been a pleasure watching them grow both as players and as people and they will always be part of our Nets family. We wish each of them and their families all the best in the future." Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, the league's two-time reigning MVP, said the trade is "an amazing move by Brooklyn." "Obviously they got better, way better," Antetokounmpo said after recording a triple-double in Milwaukee's victory Wednesday over the Pistons. "And they're really a powerhouse right now in the East having KD, James Harden, Kyrie Irving together on one team. That's tough. "But, at the end of the day, we've got to focus on ourselves. We've got to keep improving, keep playing good basketball and moving forward, we'll see how it is going to end up." The trade was agreed to after the Rockets opted to keep Harden away from Wednesday's practice, following the former MVP's comments Tuesday that Houston isn't "good enough" to compete for a championship. Harden hired Jason Ranne and Chafie Fields from Wasserman, and they worked closely with the Rockets and all teams involved to secure the trade for him, sources told ESPN. Wasserman also represented Russell Westbrook and worked closely with the Rockets on his trade to Wizards. Harden, who was unable to get the Rockets past the Western Conference finals, had remained quiet through months of reports that he was unhappy in Houston. First-year Rockets head coach Stephen Silas called the drama surrounding Harden an "all-around messed up situation."
