After a slow start, the Phoenix Suns put an end to the Nets’ two-game winning streak with a 136-120 victory in Brooklyn.
Kevin Durant, who was honored with a tribute video before tipoff, erupted for 33 points on 10-16 shooting. This game marked the termination of a four-game stretch where KD scored 20 points or less, his longest such streak all season.
Following Durant’s performance was Jusuf Nurkic, who scored a season-high 28 points, including 17 in the first half. Nurkic showcased some dominant play inside the paint. Additionally, he played a crucial role in helping the Suns completely dominate the rebound battle.
