Kyrie Irving hung 60 points on the Orlando Magic seemingly halting their progress. How the team responds exiting this game will be a test of their growth.
Same with Sunday’s opponent in the Oklahoma City Thunder. It is a chance to pick the team back up. That will not be a great measure, but it will be a good team to bounce back against. This Magic team is simply not talented enough to withstand that. But the game is over. This is inevitably the result when that happens and the team provides little resistance or does nothing to knock those superstars off rhythm. Perhaps it is unfair to judge the team on this opponent. But this was the house collapsing, a crack in the foundation. But Orlando was chasing the game from the start and unable to get any stops anywhere. The Magic should be feeling they are playing consistent enough to prevent falling behind by 30 points — let alone losing by 42. After that, I think they are really hard to stop once they are in a rhythm.” But this is a potentially major setback — like the loss to the Memphis Grizzlies a few weeks ago — for a team that is trying to build its defensive identity. Tip your hat to the team and what they’ve done.

Ajayi Browne: “It was a little awkwardness — The organization has my back.” ⁃Kyrie Irving on sitting court-side last game against the Knicks.
Kyrie Irving scored a Brooklyn Nets franchise-record 60 points on Tuesday. Read about New York Knicks wing Evan Fournier's bold reaction.
He has arguably the greatest handle in NBA history and shoots the lights out. He beats defenders off the dribble with both hands, with the ability to stop on a dime and pull up for jumpers or hop-step into the lane and use crafty finishes in traffic. The totality of Irving’s talent is wondrous to behold. He drilled pull-up triples off the dribble with ease and routinely got into the paint as the ball-handler in pick-and-roll. Still, the virtuoso performance attracted the attention of the masses, including one of Kyrie’s crosstown rivals. The Nets subbed Irving out shortly after he reached the 60-point mark early in the fourth quarter.
Irving had 41 points in the first half. Tuesday's game marks the second time in his last three games that Irving has scored 50 or more.
Kevin Durant had 53 points in that game, giving Brooklyn a 50-point scorer in three of its last four games. Irving also made 8 of 12 from the 3-point range and was 12-of-13 from the free-throw line in 35 minutes. He was 20-for-31 from the field.
Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant became the first teammates in NBA history to post 50-point performances in consecutive games after Irving scored a career-high ...
“I do appreciate the task the Mayor has in front of him with all the city has been through. The league said in a statement Monday that the Nets violated New York City law and league health and safety protocols by permitting Irving to come into the locker room. The Nets guard is currently only able to play in road games because of New York City’s vaccination mandate.
Just a day after Karl-Anthony Towns set the season-high mark of 60 points, Nets star Kyrie Irving came in and did the exact same thing.
Karl-Anthony Towns posted a similar stat line, going 19-for-31 from the field and making seven of his 11 three-point attempts. Poetically, it was last done in 1962, a perfect 60 years later. Just a day after Karl-Anthony Towns set the season-high mark of 60 points, Kyrie Irving came in and did the exact same thing in a 150-108 Brooklyn Nets win.
Irving is not allowed to be with the Nets at Barclays Center because he has not been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Under New York City law, Irving cannot play in games at Barclays Center because of a vaccine mandate for New York City-based workers who perform in-person work. While Mayor Eric Adams loosened some vaccine requirements this month, he has left in place the private sector mandate. Irving had attended the game as a spectator, with a seat in the front row.
One night after Karl-Anthony Towns sets Minnesota's single-game record with 60 points, Irving matches him point for point to break Brooklyn's mark.
Content to sit back and enjoy the show as well, fellow scoring ace Kevin Durant took only nine shots to finish with a tidy 19 points. Magic fans responded in kind, treating Irving — not exactly the NBA’s most popular player given his ongoing COVID-19 vaccine saga — to multiple standing ovations in appreciation of his record-setting display of skill. Although Irving finished with “only” 19 in the second half, he also played just 12 minutes as the Nets ran away for a 42-point blowout. “When you can get 60 in the flow of the game and you’re not putting up too many bad shots and guys are supporting you, telling you to go after the record, that makes basketball well worth it,” said Irving, whose previous career high had been 57 points with the Cavaliers against San Antonio in 2015. As those free-throw attempts would attest, Irving attacked the rim with his usual aplomb, hitting at least one hanging, spinning layup that seemed to defy the laws of physics. Averaging nearly two points per attempt, Irving shot 20-for-31 from the floor, including 8-for-12 on 3-pointers, and was nearly perfect at the foul line (12-for-13).
The Lead Kyrie Irving exploded for 41 of his career-high 60 points in the first half, as the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Orlando Magic 150-108 on Tuesday ...
The first three were won by the home squad, including on Jan. 28 when the Magic, behind a 24-point performance from Franz Wagner, cruised past the Pistons at Amway Center. Cade Cunningham, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, made just three of his 17 shot attempts. But the frustration, the obstacles, there’s no one you would rather have deal with that than Jonathan Isaac. His patience, his focus, his determination, and his understanding of keeping the big picture in mind.” – Magic President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman on Isaac remaining out for the remainder of the season Jameer Nelson recorded 25 points and nine assists and Hedo Turkoglu scored 20 as the Magic won a thriller in overtime over the Utah Jazz on March 15, 2006. Irving’s 60 points is tied for the second most ever against the Magic. Michael Jordan holds the record with 64 on Jan. 16, 1993. We haven’t even seen the Nets at full strength yet, with Simmons still gearing up for his highly anticipated debut and with Irving only allowed to play in away games (for now). Brooklyn’s 150 points is the most ever scored against Orlando.

The Brooklyn Nets are hopeful that Kyrie can return to full-time status before the playoffs, because each time he sits, this is the player they are missing out on. It was truly remarkable watching what Kyrie Irving was doing, as the Orlando Magic had no answer for him. Tough ones, double teams, triple teams coming, but as long as I can do it with a smile on my face, and my teammates weren't too angry at me, it made this night worth while."

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving scored a career-high 60 points and matched an NBA season-high in points on Tuesday in a brilliant display of scoring.
The unvaccinated Irving has not been unable to play in games in New York because of the city’s policy that requires private sector employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Irving and the Nets are hopeful New York City mayor Eric Adams will drop the policy by the time the NBA postseason begins in the second week of April, allowing Irving to play in all playoff games.

Irving has the second 60-point game of the season. It's officially the 78th 60-point game in league history. He's also just the 12th active player with a 60-point game.
Irving tied the NBA's single-game season high less than 24 hours after Karl-Anthony Towns set the mark.
Watford knocked down a couple 3s, but he did most of his damage from mid-range and around the rim. Since the All-Star break it feels like Green has really begun to turn a corner, and in March what's really stood out is his finishing rate around the rim. He just makes smart basketball decisions when he has the ball in his hands, and is always thinking a few steps ahead of the defense. In the first quarter alone Barnes tallied 15 points, and outscored the Lakers on his own, as the Raptors held L. A. to just 12 points in the opening quarter. Barnes has been so impressive in the paint this season -- especially in transition -- that it has become an absolute necessity for opposing teams to keep him out of the post. Exploit is a great word to describe Cunningham's ability to bend the defense to his will. When he draws to defenders out of a pick-and-roll situation, he's always calm and knows exactly what play he wants to make, like this alley-oop to Marvin Bagley Jr.: Barnes checks off a lot of the same boxes as Mobley, and he's had to do so in a role that's changed consistently throughout the season. Cunningham's ability to operate with one defender in front of him and another on his hip reminds me so much of Luka Doncic, who has mastered drawing in the defense only to dish out an over-the-shoulder pass or some other dazzling assist. There's been a lot of chatter recently about the Rookie of the Year award, and who is deserving of it. Take this possession against the Clippers, a game in which Cunningham finished with 23 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. But if we're ranking the top three rookies in the class this season, Cunningham would be behind both Evan Mobley and Scottie Barnes. Those two players have the best argument for Rookie of the Year right now.

On February 26th, Irving dropped 38 points in a Nets win at Milwaukee. Then Irving scored 50 points in Charlotte last Tuesday, as Brooklyn dropped 132 points.

At a Tuesday news conference, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz made a direct pitch to Brooklyn star Kyrie Irving about playing for the Houston Rockets.
The trade deadline for the 2021-22 season has already passed, and Irving turns 30 years old later this month. “By the way, if Brooklyn won’t let Kyrie play, I’m going to make a pitch to (him) directly, ‘Kyrie, come to Houston, play for the Rockets.

Nonetheless, as Durant said it, they cannot force him to do something that contradicts his beliefs and stance on the issue.
