NBA regular season continues to compete, this round of games, Brooklyn Nets rushed to the road to challenge the Grizzlies, in the previous three home games, Durant single core led the team to achieve a good record of 2 wins and 1 loss, this time to the away Irving can finally put on the team, to help Durant a hand. In the end, after four quarters of competition, the Grizzlies won 132-120 against the mighty Nets with their excellent performance in the fourth quarter. In this game, the Nets' two core players, Durant and Irving, combined to score 78 points, but unfortunately they still lost the game.
The Grizzlies had seven players in total who scored in double figures, including Melton with 23 points and 4 rebounds, Bane with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Brooks with 21 points, Jackson with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks, Jones with 16 points and 10 assists with double-doubles, Clarke also with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Anderson with 10 points.

After the start of the first quarter, both teams were in pretty good shape, the Grizzlies playing at home fired continuously on the outside, and the Nets were also tit-for-tat, Durant and Irving both cut points, as the game deepened, the Nets gradually overtook the score, but their defensive problems were gradually exposed, the Grizzlies seized the opportunity to play a wave of 13:4 offensive attacks after taking over the game, and the Grizzlies returned in the 2nd quarter. Continuing the good offensive momentum of the previous quarter, they blossomed more points and scored another 36 points in a single quarter, so that the Grizzlies exploded with 76 points in the half to establish a 14-point lead. The Nets exploded in the 3rd quarter, led by Durant and Irving, who set off an offensive surge and turned the score back in the final minutes. The Nets were caught in a scoring drought in the final quarter, and the Grizzlies seized the opportunity to lay the groundwork for a 18-2 offensive run.
I have to say that the play of Durant and Irving in this game is already very good, the two have scored more than half of the team, unfortunately they have not been able to help the team win the game, but also can not help but feel that the Grizzlies without Morant are indeed fierce. When there are still 20 seconds left in the game, in the case of the defeat has been decided, Durant is very disappointed, he directly turned his head to the bench, at this time the bench players on standby on the sidelines are also aware of the situation, the sense of service big brother is very strong, in the absence of Nash's indication, quickly take off the coat to replace Durant.
