With the NBA postseason still in its first week we had two fantastic games from Monday night’s slate of games as the Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings and the Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets. Let’s go through each game and give a brief summary of how these games played out.
The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Nets 96-84 to take a 2-0 series lead, as many predicted this series is going to be a breeze and so far this has been for 76ers. Sixers star Tyrese Maxey had one of his best games of the season where he dropped 33 points but Maxey wasn’t the only big contributor this game as Sixers stars Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris both had 20 point double doubles. Nets star wing Mikal Bridges struggled as he shot 40% FG and 25% from 3PT.
The Sacramento Kings have jumped out to a 2-0 lead on the defending champ Golden State Warriors with a 114-106 win in Sacramento. With Kings stars De’Aaron Fox and Demontis Sabonis both having 24 point games and Malik Monk with 18 coming off the bench, Monk has been an unsung hero this series. With the Golden State Warriors heading back to San Francisco for the next two games they will look to bounce back and make this a even series heading into the weekend.
