On January 22, Beijing time, in the NBA regular season, the Nets defeated the Spurs 117-102 on the road and won two consecutive wins. In this game, Irving and Harden continue to start the game, this game against the Spurs, who have not been in good form recently, the Nets are still playing well. The team gradually widened the point difference in the third quarter, and in the final quarter, the Nets further extended the score, and the Spurs did not make effective adjustments when they were behind, and the score gap remained around 8 points. At the critical moment, the Nets performed better on the offensive end, they successfully widened the score gap to double digits, the game also lost suspense, and finally the Nets won on the road and won two consecutive games.
The Spurs did a decent job in this game, being able to play back and forth with the Nets in the first three quarters, and the score gap was not widened. However, in the final quarter, the Spurs are still difficult to withstand the Nets' offensive attack, the team's efficiency on the offensive end is not high, and it is difficult to limit the Nets' offense at the defensive end.
And this campaign of young Murray played a full, he cut 25 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in this campaign, the first time in his career to get a triple-double in two consecutive games, this data is also comparable to David Robinson, becoming the first spur team since 1991, two consecutive games to get a triple-double, this season's Murray improved rapidly, after deRozan and Aldridge left the team, he gradually became the new core of the Spurs, often able to play a brilliant performance in the game. However, it is a pity that Murray's excellent performance was still not able to lead the team to win, and the Spurs were not as good as the Nets in overall strength, which also led to the team's eventual defeat.
On the Nets side, Durant was absent due to injury, and Irving and Harden led the team to play, and in the game, both players had a very good performance. Among them, Harden is in hot form, he personally got a triple-double of 37 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and when he performed poorly in the past few games, he recovered from this campaign and played a 30+ triple-double performance, he became the key player for the Nets to win this game, and gave the team a very big help in all aspects.
Irving is also in good shape in this game, he has 24 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the whole game, which is his third consecutive game to score 20+ points, after the adaptation of the previous game, Irving gradually returned to the right track, found the feeling of playing in the game, and continued to shine on the personal offensive end. And Aldridge faced the old master, he also had a good performance, with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and he became the team's third offensive strong point in this game.
I believe that many fans know that the recent performance of the Nets is not ideal, the team wins less and loses more, and the core of the team, Durant, will also be absent for a long time due to injury, and the team has encountered difficulties. But fortunately, in recent games, Irving and Harden have performed well on the court, they have played efficiently after joining forces, and have a very good performance in attack and tandem of the whole team, under the leadership of these two players, the Nets have gradually returned to the right track, and after many games, the Nets have finally won consecutive games again. If Irving and Harden can continue to maintain such performances, then during Durant's absence, it is believed that the Nets' record will steadily rise.
