Big and small Durant met
James Harden single-handedly led the team, lost at home to the old club Oklahoma Thunder, and it was a 21-point fiasco, once again making us realize how bad the Nets without superstars really are. This game, the Brooklyn Nets have to face the New Orleans Pelicans, still at home, so Kyrie Irving still can't play. Under such circumstances, Nash did not dare to take the turn of Durant and Mills, because the Pelicans were far stronger than the Thunder.
The Pelicans have beaten the Timberwolves and Clippers in the past two games, and Ingram has continued to cash in on his talent and become more and more like a home star. If you remember, Ingram's nickname was Durant Jr., and this game against the real Kevin Durant must be a rare good play.
Durant left the court injured
At the beginning of the first quarter, Durant was in full swing, with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 4-of-7 shooting, directly filling the data bar without a minute of rest. Harden also had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, and Thomas on the bench had 7 points and 1 steal on 3-of-3 shooting, and the team scored 32 points in a single quarter, while the Pelicans only scored 22 points, including Ingram with 6 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. After returning from the second quarter, Durant was immediately hit by teammate Brown and injured his left knee, and then returned to the locker room, the game will not return, the only hope is that Durant is not in serious trouble.
In the case of Durant's injury leaving the court, Harden stepped forward and had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in the second quarter, a good tandem with the team, Edwards had 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 5-of-7 shooting, Sharp also had 6 points and 6 rebounds, the team bombed 37 points in a single quarter, while the Pelicans only scored 19 points, and at the end of the half, the Nets took a 28-point lead. In the second half, the Pelicans finally began to power, Ingram had 9 points and 3 assists, Hart also had 7 points and 4 rebounds, and the two Lakers old players led the team to 36 points, successfully narrowing the point gap to 18 points.
In the final quarter of the game, Harden and Mills scored consecutive points, no longer allowing the Pelicans to narrow the point gap, while time passed minute by minute. The Pelicans struggled to end their two-game winning streak with a 120-105 home win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Harden led the team to victory
Kevin Durant left the field injured after only 12 minutes, with 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-8 shooting, in this case, James Harden once again carried the team, 9 of 15 shots with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists, plus-minus +21 team first. In addition, Mills had 21 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, gradually regaining his form, Thomas also had 20 points and 6 rebounds, Edwards had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Sharp also had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Griffin had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and only 4 shots in the game.
The Pelicans lost the game, Ingram also recognized the gap, the whole game with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, but Harden is indeed unreasonable, driving all his teammates. Although the Pelicans also have 7 people to score in double figures, but the second highest score is Hart's 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, I have to say that today's Hart has become a rebounding idiot. Varan didn't play a role, with only 13 points, five rebounds and two assists on 6-of-12 shooting, and if the Pelicans wanted to beat the Nets, he had to stand up, after all, the Nets really had no one inside.
