NEW YORK (AP) — Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and James Harden relished a chance to test themselves against the NBA’s best.
The Los Angeles Clippers left Brooklyn impressed — and eager for another shot at the Nets.
Irving scored a season-high 39 points, including eight straight in the fourth-quarter run that sent Brooklyn into the lead for good, and the Nets beat the Clippers 124-120 on Tuesday night.
Durant added 28 points, Harden had 23 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds, and the three stars scored all the points in the decisive 13-0 spurt.
