The Brooklyn Nets got their first taste of the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
Brooklyn faced off against Joel Embiid and James Harden, losing the game by 20 points.
After the match was over and the Sixers got the first win of the series, the Nets’ head coach had some things to say.
Jacque Vaughn wasn’t happy with the officials and called them out for not making calls against Embiid.

Some could say that he’s already getting superstar treatment, but Vaughn isn’t having any of that.
Even though Embiid and Harden had a solid game, posting 26 and 23 points respectively, Brooklyn had no response for them.
Before the series started, the Nets looked more dangerous, but the Sixers were simply too much.
They’ll try to level the series up in Game 2, but after the first match, that looks unlikely.
Just like the Boston Celtics, the Sixers look comfortable in the first round of the postseason.
It’s too early to tell, but they could finally be ready to win the NBA championship.
As for Vaughn and his team, they need to make adjustments if they want to win at least one game.
Mikal Bridges was their best player in Game 1, and they hope that the rest of the team joins him.
This is a complex position for the Nets, who started this season as championship favorites.
Now, they are fighting to win at least one win against the 76ers.
