Brooklyn Nets' Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving eager for rivalry with New York Knicks to flourish

NEW YORK -- For the first time since they both spurned the New York Knicks and joined forces with the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2019, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving played together inside Madison Square Garden and helped lead their team to a 110-98 victory over a Knicks team that many New Yorkers wanted them to join.

After it was over, both players acknowledged how much fun they had in the environment and are hopeful the rivalry between the teams will continue to blossom through the years.
