After ending their 11-game losing streak, the in-form Detroit Pistons took a break and ushered in the challenge of the powerful Nets.
In terms of the Pistons, Grant is absent due to injury, and the Pistons, who lack the "main heart" in this campaign, can withstand the pressure and end the losing streak, and can Lang Cunningham, who has high hopes, obviously need to play.
On the other hand, the Nets, Harden's rotation, Durant's single core led the team, whether this campaign can win 2 consecutive wins on the road has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game!
Finally, after 4 quarters of competition, the Pistons, who had home advantage, although with the excellent performance of Cunningham + Frank Jackson + Sabine Lee, once overwhelmed the Nets in the first three quarters and occupied the initiative on the court.
However, in the final final moment, Durant + Cameron Thomas ushered in an outbreak at the same time, leading the Nets to play a 15-1 counterattack frenzy, instantly turning the situation on the court.
In the end, the Nets also reversed the Pistons 116-104 on the road, which was worth the trip to win 2 consecutive wins, but also gave the opponent Pistons 12 consecutive losses!
This game rushed to the away, the Nets, although once fell into the disadvantage of falling behind in the score, but fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team attack of 4 people scoring doubles.
In the case of mills + Aldridge + Bruce Brown and other main players, each performing their duties, the play of the main team Durant, and the young cameron Thomas, is particularly critical!
Cameron Thomas was appointed as a substitute for 28 minutes and contributed 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal on 6-of-11 shooting.
And his key performance in the final quarter, the key performance of the inside and outside shooting alone 9 points, but also completely disrupted the Pistons' defensive rhythm and deployment, providing the team with unexpected firepower and vitality!
Of course, the Nets can win a big victory in this game, and the core of the team, Durant, is also credited.
In this game, Durant single-handedly led the team, played a dominant performance, starting 40 minutes, shooting 5 three-pointers on 31 shots and 16 in the middle and outside the line, cutting a game-high 51 points, plus 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
While setting a number of records in a game, Durant's heroic performance in this battle also became an invincible presence for the Pistons, and made a great contribution to the Nets' reversal and victory!
Only after the battle of this battle, many fans and the media began to have controversy over the excessive use of Durant by Nets coach Nash.
After all, considering that Durant has experienced a major injury, as well as the Nets' current record and ranking, this game has made Durant fight for 40 minutes, and Nash's employment seems to be a little too fierce!
On the other hand, on the Pistons side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter of this game, and could not prevent Durant's performance, which obviously needs to be examined.
But fortunately, for the Pistons, who lack major generals, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights!
After all, as the two young main players of the team, the game leader Lang Cunningham and the Tigers Frank Jackson's play are indeed remarkable.
Cunningham was very efficient, starting 34 minutes, shooting 5 three-pointers on 9-of-18 shooting, scoring a team-high 26 points, plus 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
Coupled with the good partner Frank Jackson, the whole game got a good performance of 25 + 1 + 1 + 1, although the Pistons failed to win this game, but rationally speaking, these two still caused a lot of trouble and trouble to the Nets!
It's just the reality that after the lack of Grant's offensive and defensive core, in the face of Durant, who has gone crazy, and the huge gap in the strength and depth of the lineup, Cunningham + Frank Jackson, who has worked hard for a whole game, seems to have no choice but to drink and hate!
