Halftime: Nets lead the Magic 52-51. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have combined for 30 points. Nets shooting just 3-for-13 from 3. Nets showing no resistance defensively. We’re supposed to get an update on Ben Simmons at halftime. Will tweet it once I get it. – 8:34 PM

Ben Simmons looks significantly less comfortable with Nic Claxton on the floor.
That pairing is not going to last long. Offense is not sustainable. – 7:51 PM

After the Nets’ 112-98 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night where he put up 14 points, six dimes, three steals and two blocks, Ben Simmons told reporters that it’s the best he’s felt in terms of mobility in recent memory. Simmons memorably took the entire 2021-22 season off, nursing back and knee problems along the way. “So far this is the best I’ve felt in terms of moving. Obviously it’s a back-to-back too. I think my minutes were supposed to be lower, but I was trying to push myself and I wanted to be out there to help the team win,” Simmons said, via SNY Nets. -via Clutch Points / November 24, 2022
