Nets destroy Celtics to cap Preseason, James Harden Trade Market Dead

The Nets unloaded on the Celtics on Friday night to cap the preseason undefeated with a 113-89 win that dropped the Celtics to 0-2. Boston shot 8-for-45 with turnovers flowing again and neither Jayson Tatum nor Jaylen Brown able to reach 20 points. Kyrie Irving controversially burned sage on the court pre-game, before he and Kevin Durant combined for 40+ in a showing that could preview the dominance the Brooklyn Nets could undertake in 2021. The two teams meet again on Christmas, leaving the Garden Report wondering how much this team could struggle to begin the year.
