The Nets have won six of their last seven games heading into the final two games of their longest road trip of the season (six games). Although Kevin Durant has been on a tear, leading the league in points (29.5 points) and carrying the offensive load, the second unit has produced as well.
During Brooklyn’s 123-90 blowout win against Orlando Wednesday, Durant registered his sixth 30+ point game of the season, but it was the bench that sealed the team’s eighth win of the season. The bench contributed a total of 59 points, led by LaMarcus Aldridge who has been a pivotal piece in the Net’s early-season success.
