Silk has his first playoff victory.
The Brooklyn Nets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 111-102 to steal game one of the opening round of the NBA playoffs. It was the Brooklyn's first road playoff victory since 2014.
D'Angelo Russell struggled early on, shooting just 2-11 in the first half. Russell, however, came out of the break firing, finishing with a team-high 26 points against Ben Simmons, his high school teammate. Teammate Caris Levert of Michigan scored 23 points.
