Durant's milestone night became "mileage sad", and the Nets suffered a wave of three consecutive losses at the end of the year and the beginning of the year

On the morning of January 4, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets lost 104-118 at home to the Grizzlies in the NBA regular season, and suffered a wave of three consecutive losses at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. Nets superstar Durant scored eight goals in this game, surpassing Dwyane Wade in his career regular season goals and leaping to third place in the game, behind two veterans James and Anthony, who have played in the NBA since 2003, but his milestone night became a milestone and became a footnote to the Grizzlies' five-game winning streak. For the Nets, if the Bucks had not lost the game against the Pistons at the same time, they would have fallen to third in the East, and are currently only relying on a slight advantage in winning percentage, and barely remain in second place.

Prior to this game, Kevin Durant had hit 8,453 goals in the regular season of his career, ranking 31st in history and fourth in active duty, just one goal away from Wade's record. In the opening stages of the first quarter, Durant hit a breakthrough dunk that not only hit the Nets' first goal of the game, but also successfully equaled Wade's record (8454 goals). Durant scored a team-high 26 points on 8-of-24 shooting in the game, bringing his regular-season total to 8,461 shots, rising to no. 30 in NBA history. Among active players, Durant's figure is second only to 37-year-olds LeBron James and Cameron Anthony.

While it's remarkable to reach that number, this game is destined not to belong to Durant or the Nets. The fast-rising Grizzlies played at a high level in this game, especially the two big players Morant and Bane, who combined to score 65 points, and under their leadership, the Grizzlies had a huge advantage of 23 points in the first three quarters. Although the Nets won the tiebreaker season by 9 points in a single quarter, they were unable to return to the sky because the pit in front of them was too large. Harden performed average, scoring 19 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds, while Patti Mills, who had been accurate in the past, was completely out of form this game, shooting 0 of 6, but as a starting player, he did not score a point, completely unable to help the team.

If the Bucks hadn't also lost to end a six-game winning streak, the Nets would have been squeezed into third place in the East. Now it seems that the Nets still need Irving's comeback, because it seems that as long as it is a slightly stronger opponent in the league, it is possible to beat them. This is unacceptable to fans for the Nets, which have the Big Three, and if this situation continues to develop, winning the championship is only a bone reality, not a plump ideal.
