Lakers legend Magic Johnson was impressed by the performance of the Brooklyn Nets on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers. The visitors dominated the game from the start and crushed the hosts by 29 points.
According to Johnson, that shows that Brooklyn is the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. “Tonight the Nets proved that they are the team to beat in the East with their blowout victory over the Sixers!” he tweeted.
The Nets were not at full strength as they missed Ben Simmons who missed the game due to back issues. He is yet to play a game this season.
It will not an easy path for Brooklyn to reach the playoffs. Currently they are in eighth place in the East with 5 games back against the sixth-placed Cavaliers.
