Kyrie Irving didn’t make the trip for nothing. Present in the stands, while he is not allowed to play at home, the leader of the Nets was at least able to take advantage of the show of his teammate Kevin Durant. The latter distinguished himself in the New York derby by scoring 53 points against the New York Knicks, beaten 110 to 107 by the Nets, Sunday in the NBA. This is the eighth time in his career that the star winger for the Brooklyn Nets has exceeded 50 points in an NBA game, and the second this season.
In addition to his 53 points, the triple Olympic champion, well supported by Andre Drummond (18 pts, 10 rebounds), took six rebounds and delivered nine assists. And was decisive, notably by scoring an important three-point basket 56 seconds from the buzzer, to put his team in the lead 106-103. Despite Evan Fournier’s 25 points, Julius Randle’s 26 and RJ Barrett’s 24, the Knicks could only see the damage.

The meeting took place under the eyes of his teammate Kyrie Irving. As long as he is not vaccinated, the leader of the Nets cannot evolve at home due to the sanitary rules of the State of New York. On the other hand, he can follow the matches there from the stands, a grotesque situation according to LeBron James, the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers, who declared on Twitter: “It makes absolutely no sense.”
