Today's Nets and Hawks a game, Durant offensive state is very good, the first half of 10 shots 7, three points 4 of 4 efficient bombardment of 25 points, but Durant crazy cut points is still not enough, the Nets half 50-65 behind the Hawks 15 points; Irving in the first half of 16 shots 5 with 13 points and 3 assists, shooting feel in general, the positive and negative value of -14 on the field, may be affected by Ramadan fasting.
During the game, Irving sat on the bench to rest and eat fruit to replenish energy, fasted for a day, from morning to night without eating, Irving did need to replenish energy; it is worth mentioning that when Irving was eating, Nash called him to play, Irving quickly put the fruit on the floor, ran to the sideline and played.
