The 2020–21 Brooklyn Nets season was the 45th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), 54th season overall, and its ninth season playing in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. On September 3, 2020, the Nets hired Steve Nash as their new head coach.[1]
In the beginning of the 2020–21 season, the Nets acquired James Harden in a four-team trade on January 14, 2021. The trade reunited him with former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Kevin Durant, and along with Kyrie Irving, the Nets created a superteam.[2][3]
The Nets set a franchise record for three-point field goals during the game versus the Sacramento Kings on February 15, 2021, with 27 three-point field goals,[4][5] and narrowly missed the NBA record (29),[6] which was set by the Milwaukee Bucks on December 29, 2020.[7]
Fan attendance in home games was prohibited until February 23, 2021, per an executive order from Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo.[8] The Nets reopened the Barclays Center to spectators on February 23.[9]
The Nets clinched a playoff berth for the third straight year, following their victory over the Toronto Raptors on April 27, becoming the first Eastern Conference team, and second overall to do so.[10]
The Nets faced the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 2021 NBA playoffs, defeating them in five games.[11][12] The Nets then faced the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks in the conference semifinals and lost the series in seven games despite taking a 2–0 and later a 3–2 lead.[13]
