MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – James Harden and Kevin Durant each scored 20 points despite three relatively quiet quarters, and the Brooklyn Nets broke away with a big run in the fourth to beat the Miami Heat 98-85 on Monday night.
Kevin Durant wasn’t making shots. James Harden was barely taking them.
That sent the Nets into a defensive struggle, and the NBA’s highest-scoring team handled it well until their superstars showed up.
Kyrie Irving added 16 points for the Nets, who completed a sweep of the Heat in two games that couldn’t have been more different. Brooklyn won 128-124 on Saturday, then took the rematch despite barely topping its lowest-scoring game of the season.
