There’s no mystery about what the Nets have to do to right their ship starting with Game 3 on Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn. They have to match the Celtics on defense, get more players involved and figure out a way to help Kevin Durant get back on track.
Of the three, the third is most critical. KD is coming off the worst half of his basketball career. In the third and fourth quarters, he was 0-of-10 with four turnovers. Without Durant, they don’t stand a chance, as everyone including Durant and his head coach, Steve Nash, acknowledge.
