With 33 points from star Keving Durant and a game-winning basket from teammate Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 108-102 this Friday in the NBA.
The Nets, who had seen their 12-game winning streak end in Chicago on Wednesday, trailed 64-53 at halftime but dominated the game in the third quarter.
Durant also grabbed 10 rebounds, the 111th time in his career that he has combined 30+ points with double-digit rebounds.
The Pelicans were without their two stars, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, both still sidelined with injuries, but they put up an aggressive performance in what was an intense game.
New Orleans got off to a hot start taking a ten-point lead in the first quarter after Naji Marshall’s 3-pointer and then began the second quarter on a 13-1 offensive run.
But the Nets grew in the game and outscored the Pelicans 35-21 in the third quarter.
With the score tight with 43 seconds left, Irving, who scored 19 points, made a 30-foot 3-pointer to make it 106-100 before two free throws were made to clinch the win.
“It was a story of two halves, even though we didn’t get our shots early on, or throughout the game, we kept pushing, it was a solid win for us,” Durant said.
Brooklyn improves to 26-13 while the Pelicans are 24-15 after their fifth home loss this season.
The Charlotte Hornets matched the NBA record for the most points in the first quarter of the game when they scored 51 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
That performance matched the record set by the Golden State Warriors against the Denver Nuggets in 2019.
The Hornets, last in the Eastern Conference standings, won 138-109 against the Bucks, second in that area.
Terry Rozier set a season-high 39 points for the Hornets, while the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo of Greece, who was averaging 32.7 points per game, was limited to just nine points in the game.
The Philadelphia 76ers’ 11-game home winning streak came to an end with a 126-112 loss to the Chicago Bulls, who were driven by Zach LaVine.
LaVine made 11 of 13 3-pointers and scored 41 points, while Nikola Vucevic had 19 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists to complete a triple-double.
The 76-ers were without their key man, Cameroonian Joel Embiid, who missed his second straight game with sore left foot and ended a 12-game winning streak against the Bulls.
The New York Knicks won their fourth straight game with a 112-108 victory over the Toronto Raptors with Julius Randle producing 32 points and 11 rebounds.
“The way he’s playing is just unheard of,” Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson said.
“He’s playing very well, he’s playing with confidence. It’s amazing to see how he’s come back. He still has a lot more to prove,” he added.
It was the Knicks’ first win in Toronto since 2015, ending an 11-game losing streak to the Raptors and was coach Tom Thibodeau’s 100th win with the team.
