Kevin Durant’s comeback against the Miami Heat was the hot topic a few days ago as the Brooklyn Nets finally expected to get back on their winning path. But the result did not end in favor of Steve Nash’s team. But with Kyrie Irving being paired with one of his favorite partners after a long hiatus, many expected the Nets to do better than the Celtics. Until Jayson Tatum stepped forward.
Boston Celtics marquee go crazy as they take their team over the line against hard floor Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry led team. However, it was Jayson Tatum who single-handedly led the proceedings for the home team. What’s even more shocking? In the 126-120 win, Tatum scored more than twice as much as his teammates, which definitely pissed off Kevin Durant.
Spencer Dinwiddie is brutally honest about why he’s so much better…
Kevin Durant shakes his head in disbelief after Jayson Tatum’s 54-point field goal
Time was running out in the fourth quarter and with Jayson Tatum at the free throw line, Durant could be seen shaking his head in visibly disappointed as Nets failed to secure a victory over their Celtics. Kevin Durant performed admirably in the loss, with 37 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to defuse Tatum’s big night.
The defeat sees Durant and Brooklyn drop to 32-33 on the season. If the regular season ended on Sunday, the Nets would only qualify for the play-in tournament, currently ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference. The Brooklyn Nets have lost both games since Durant’s return from an MCL sprain. He played well in both matches, but the team did not manage to score a victory.
However, after this defeat, the Nets were moved to 9.pearl seed in the Eastern Conference. With all the pressure on Durant’s shoulders in the coming weeks, can the Nets work a miracle by closing a playoff bet? Of course they need a leader like Jayson Tatum.
