NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets had 91 first-half points against Golden State Wednesday night, the third-highest total in NBA history.
The Nets led 91-51 against a Warriors team missing Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins. Brooklyn shot 35 to 49 (71.4%) in the first 24 minutes.
Phoenix set the NBA record with 107 first-half points against Denver on November 10, 1990. The Warriors — with current Nets star Kevin Durant on their roster — scored 92 points against Chicago on Oct. 29, 2018.
The Nets led 46-17 after a quarter, a 29-point difference that was the widest in a league quarter this season.
