After today's game, the Nets have also won seven straight games against the Knicks.
In addition, today's game is also the Nets' 24th away win this season, equaling the team's all-time single-season away win record. In the '73-74 season, the Nets also had 24 wins on the road. The Nets can tie the team's all-time away win record, and Irving can only play in away games before should still have something to do with it.
In today's game, Durant performed brilliantly, playing 42 minutes, shooting 11 of 22, including 2 of 10 three-pointers and 8 of 9 free throws, and had a triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. This is the third time this season that Durant has scored a triple-double, equaling the career single-season triple-double record, and Durant has won three triple-doubles in both 2012-13 and 2013-14. So far in his career, Durant has scored a triple-double 15 times.

Seth Curry played 30 minutes and shot 5-of-10 from the field, with 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Mills played 24 minutes and made 5-of-7 shooting and had 15 points and 2 assists.
After today's game, the Nets continue to rank eighth in the East with a record of 42 wins and 38 losses, and since they have missed the top six in the East, they must participate in the playoffs. If they can finish eighth, the Nets only need to win one playoff to make it to the playoffs, but the Hawks are now tied with the Nets, so it is difficult to say whether the Nets will eventually be in eighth place.
If they fall to ninth or tenth, the Nets will be in a tough position, having to win two playoff games in a row to make the playoffs. Although the Nets have two superstars, Durant and Irving, they may not necessarily win two playoff games, otherwise they will not have to pass the playoffs to enter the playoffs.
The Lakers have missed the playoffs in advance, completely missed the playoffs, and if the Nets don't make the playoffs this season, it's really interesting. The Nets Lakers have formed a super luxurious lineup this season, and the result has not been smooth, experiencing various troubles and challenges, so that from the championship fever to even the playoffs can not enter, this is probably the so-called hot must die.
