NBA Nets forward proves his injury is more than forgotten
Lthe Brooklyn Nets they begin to clear the unknowns of what can be expected of them this season. After a year of waiting, the New York team finally enjoys its two stars, Kevin Durant y Kyrie Irving, healthy and start to scare the rest of the rivals in the Eastern Conference, as he demonstrated before Boston Celtics by adding his second victory (89-113) in as many preseason games.
The good news for the Nets isn’t just the results or the good feelings Steve Nash’s team is leaving. The best thing for them is to see how Kevin Durant he’s fully recovered from his Achilles injury and is ready to dominate the NBA again. Against the Celtics, in his second game in almost two years, Durant recovered his best version and knocked down the Boston team with 25 points (nine of 16 in field goals), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks in 27 minutes.
An exhibition like those of yesteryear that was accompanied by the good game of on compaero ‘all star’ returning to Boston for the first timelast season I did not play at TD Garden due to injury) after his abrupt departure from the Celtics. Irving played 28 minutes in which he scored 17 points (seven of 15 from the field and three of six from the triple), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and a plug.
The Nets began the crash with the accelerator fully depressed and did not lift their foot until the fourth quarter, when they already had the victory in their pocket after a great third quarter that they closed with a 16-30 run. In addition to Durant and Irving in the Brooklyn team, he highlighted the good game of Joe Harris (14 points with four triples) and Caris LeVert coming off the bench with 18 points and two rebounds.
On the part of the Celtics, who have lost both games they have played this preseason, they only responded at their best Jayson Tatum (19 puntos with two of nine from the triple, eight rebounds and three assists) and Jaylen Brown, who added 16 so many (seven of 15 in field goals), four rebounds and four assists. The rest barely appeared on the court by a team that signed an alarming eight out of 45 from triple. Concern for Brad Stevens and Danny Ainge.
