Record breaking “KD” and Brooklyn pockets yet another win (the 19th since the start of the season). In the absence of James Harden, Kevin Durant set a new personal best (51 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds) to allow the Nets to win on the floor of Detroit (116-104). The superstar of the leader of the Eastern Conference had not exceeded the 50 points mark since November 2018. On the other hand, he remains a regular of the fact, since he had already scored 50 points or more on seven occasions since he started. Sunday, the more than ever leading scorer in the league, in a state of grace, showed the way throughout the game for his team against the number 1 pistons of the last draft Cade Cunningham (26 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists) and also Frenchy Killian Hayes (6 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound), who was unfortunately again injured (an inch) during this match. Durant shines, LeBron James too. Author recently of his first triple-double of the season – his hundredth in his career – the “King”, particularly impressive after returning from the locker room (13 points scored in the first four minutes of the second half) put it back on Sunday (second triple-double of the season, 101st in career) against Orlando in Los Angeles, with 30 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
Nothing is going well for the Knicks!
What a night for @KingJames in the @Lakers win.

The Lakers, who are much better, were able to clinch their fifth victory (106-94) over the last seven games. Unfortunately for Evan Fournier’s teammates, still very disappointing (6 points to 2 of 8 on shots) like the Knicks who are slowly sinking into the crisis, New York cannot say the same. Sunday, at the start of the day, the French silver medalist from Tokyo and his teammates once again drank the cup (112-97), at Madison Square Garden, against Milwaukee and Giannis Antetokounmpo, author of his first triple-double this season (20 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds). Khris Middleton, author of 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, was also ruthless towards these New Yorkers who keep falling in the standings.
???? @KDTrey5 ERUPTS for 51 points…his highest-scoring game with the @BrooklynNets!
