They want that old thing back. On Wednesday night, Kevin Durant made his return to Barclays Center. It was a... unique evening for a lot of reason, but the result ended the same for the Brooklyn Nets as the Phoenix Suns beat them on primetime. The Nets ended January at 4-10 and are heading into a critical trade deadline in a few days.
The opponent tonight is back on the East Coast after a long stretch far from home. The Philadelphia 76ers are still near the top of the Eastern Conference, but they’re coming into this one pretty banged up.
