Surprise result in the debut of the new Big Three of the Brooklyn Nets against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Irving, Durant and Harden, who score 96 points in three, recover 13 points in the fourth period, force extra time and even have the shot to win it in the first overtime with Durant, but are overwhelmed by an incredible performance by Collin Sexton, who scores 20 points in a row between the two overtimes and serves the former of the evening Taurean Prince the triple of the victory Fresh from five games of absence due to an ankle injury, Sexton has totally "stolen the show" from the stars of the Nets, scoring five triples in the overtime (including the one with 1.2 seconds left to force the second), closing with his career high of 42 points.
Of the eight players lined up by coach Bickerstaff, seven finish in double figures, including the 25 points of Cedi Osman and the good performances of the former of the evening, Taurean Prince (17) and Jarrett Allen (12 + 11) coming off the bench.
The new "leaders" of the Eastern Conference is Philadelphia, which takes a heavy victory against the Boston Celtics always without Jayson Tatum (117-109 the final result).
To make the difference in a hard-fought game (13 ties, 13 changes in the lead in scoring and never anyone with a double digit advantage) was again a Joel Embiid in MVP
