Nba results, Kevin Durant 53 points: Brooklyn beats New York 110-107

An absolutely spatial Kevin Durant takes care of it. The absences force KD to carry the attack of the Nets on his shoulders (35-33): no problem for the Brooklyn phenomenon, who scores 53 points and drags Steve Nash’s team to 110-107 in the derby with the Knicks (28- 40).

38th quintet

—

Once again Steve Nash has to count the unavailable before the tap-off and with Irving (for the first time present at Barclays but still unable to play within friendly walls), Simmons, Aldridge and Curry in the pits, basically three holders and a half, he must field his 38th different quintet of this surreal season. The Nets start very strong with KD who wants to leave his mark immediately and make the first 11 points of the race. The Knicks do not break down and slowly enter the game with the production of Randle and the baskets from the perimeter of Fournier. Thibs also finds Sims’ energy off the bench, the Nets in attack continue to find good shots but in defense they begin to concede a little too much. New York took advantage of it and went back under and then moved on to lead thanks to an 8-0 run in the second quarter. Barrett makes himself heard, the Knicks find good solutions but Durant turns on the light again. There are also important points and rebounds from a very active Drummond. KD is absolutely unstoppable and brings forward the hosts who come to rest with a 62-60 lead. The Brooklyn midfielder already has 27 points on the scoresheet. The Nets continue with the same refrain in the third fraction as well. Durant does what he wants on an offensive level, also gives Brown a hand with a series of important plays, on the other hand, however, the baskets of Fournier and the flashes of Randle keep the Knicks in the wake.

KD takes care of it

—

Not even a partial 13-2 by Brooklyn takes away the confidence of the visiting team that in the final of the fraction comes back under, despite a KD capable of putting 40 points on the scoresheet in the first three quarters of the match. New York responds with a 10-2 break between the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth period and resumes the home team. Brooklyn struggles a lot from long range, with a decidedly inaccurate Mills, and leaves the door open for the return of the Knicks. Randle and his teammates do not let themselves be begged and with a quick 9-0 they return in front of three minutes from the siren. Thibs decides to double an unstoppable Durant practically on the entire defensive half of NY but KD still finds a way to place a crazy triple at 56 ” from the siren that brings the home team back to +3. Randle approaches the Knicks but Durant is very cold from the line and with six free throws in the last six seconds of the match he seals the success for the Nets.
