Here is a link to Chess24's coverage, including video analysis.
And here is a link to Chess.com's coverage, along with some more analysis.
Jaideep Unudurti made the following excellent point on Twitter.
I knew about Kasparov's record against Shirov & Adams, but somehow had missed that he had such a record against Gelfand, too.Naka's win over Carlsen can be seen in the context that Adams, Shirov and Gelfand never beat Kasparov in their entire careers #BilbaoChess— Jaideep Unudurti (@Unudurti) July 13, 2016
And don't forget that he had a monster score against Judit Polgar, though I believe she finally won a game shortly before he retired. Record Check: Nope, she beat him, but only in one rapid game! Really, Garry's record against Judit practically constituted a hate crime. So make that four top players he blanked in their primes at "Classical Chess".
And finally, a bit of fun from the spoof account NakaFacts: This tweet went out before today's round, but it's still funny.

ADDED: First, IM Daniel Rensch of Chess.com has a nice ten minute long analysis of the game. It's quite good, and I recommend it, as he gives you the ideas of the position in a clear manner.
Second, I can't resist adding one more tweet, this one from Follow Chess:
Bonus points if you recognize everyone.How the chess world probably reacted to Nakamura's "shocking" 1st win against Magnus Carlsen with Black #BilbaoChess pic.twitter.com/iILKwsVjxX— Follow Chess (@FollowChessApp) July 14, 2016
