11 assists, 12 assists, that's the assist stats that Durant and Irving handed over. In the playoffs, the Nets refused a 22-point reversal, beat the Cavaliers 115-108 at home, and successfully entered the playoffs, where they will play against the Celtics in the first round. In this game, Irving's feel is excellent, Durant played steadily in key moments, and the two's 23 assists also activated the three teammates, only Cescuari's performance was disappointing.
The Cavaliers' lineup is not neat, and with Sexton and Allen unable to play, it is still very difficult for the Cavaliers to compete with the Nets. The Nets are led by Durant and Irving, Dragic is back, and their lineup is more aligned. For the Nets, the key is to play their own strength. In the first quarter, Durant and Irving played very comprehensively, Durant not only scored 8 points on 3 of 3, but also sent 6 assists, driven by him, Drummond and Brown have played very well.
Irving was 5-of-5 in the first quarter and delivered four assists, and Durant and Irving had 10 assists in the first quarter, which is also a situation Nash wants to see. If the Nets want to go further, Durant and Irving can not only score, but also the play of teammates is also very important, at least from the performance of this game, the two can still inspire the morale of teammates. The Nets led by 20 points in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers chased points in the games that followed, but Irving and Durant could always stand up and score.
Irving was in a 12-game streak, felt hot, and soon scored 30 points. Durant was a key starter, hitting consecutive key shots in the fourth quarter. Of course, Brown and Clarkston can also receive the pass and score the ball, but the Nets still stabilized the situation and refused the Cavaliers' 22-point reversal. From the full court data, this game Brown as many as 19 shots, higher than Durant and Irving's number of shots, he got 18 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists data, Drummond also contributed 16 points, Clarkston is 13 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks, the three role players play very critical.
Of course, the Nets also have a bad point in this game, that is, the starting Sescuari, the game feels bad, 4 of 0 points did not win, which is also a pity. In the first round of the playoffs against the Celtics, Sescuiri's feel is still very important, and only when he finds his touch can the Nets have a greater grasp.
