The Brooklyn Nets officially have a win in the standings.
Behind Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant’s combined 57 points, the Brooklyn Nets secured a wire-to-wire victory over the Toronto Raptors. The Nets now sit 1-1 on the season.
Irving was the star of the show, scoring 30 points on 11-of-24 shooting along with 7 assists. His heroics down the stretch on a barrage of jumpers carried Brooklyn across the finish line.
“Kai was incredible down the stretch making some big plays for us,” said Steve Nash. “We come to expect that type of shotmaking from him but it’s not easy, especially two games into the year.
