‘That’s caffeine pride talking’: Kevin Durant walked back Bruce Brown’s postgame comments about Daniel Theis, Al Horford

As Kevin Durant sat down for his post-game press conference following the Nets’ win over the Cavaliers on Tuesday, he needed some answers about Bruce Brown.

“Yo, what did Bruce Brown say?” Durant asked Kyrie Irving. “He said something I didn’t like, someone just told me.”

In an answer about facing the Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs just moments earlier, Brown mentioned that the Nets couldn’t afford to let Jayson Tatum score 50. He also pointed to the absence of Robert Williams as a major plus for the Nets.

“Now they don’t have Robert Williams, so they have less of a presence in the paint,” Brown said.
