Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
The Nets led wire-to-wire over the Magic. The 33-point win matches the fourth-largest margin of victory in a road game in franchise history. It’s the largest road victory for the Nets since 3/18/13 at Detroit (119-82), according to the Nets. – 9:27 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
For those who don’t know, Jerami Grant’s real first name is Houston. He’s about 14 minutes away from owning the city, too. Up to 33 points on 12-of-18 shooting. – 9:25 PM

I’m actually excited for the Rockets/Pistons game
Growing up, there were some teams you NEVER saw on national TV, and there was no League Pass or YouTube to get around it … this is the only shot for Houston and Detroit this season more than likely, so I’m not trying to miss it – 3:51 PM

From earlier: “He’s just a good locker room guy. Good guy to have around, and it sucks he didn’t sign back with us.”
