MVP of the night
Kevin Durant
The Brooklyn Nets forward made a real game. 42 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, with 16/26 (61.5%) in field goals and 5/8 (62.5%) in triples. And it does not stop there, but became the first player in the history of the Nets to score more than 25 points in 9 consecutive games, and for the better, he has only 10 games with this jersey.
Rookie of the night
Mason Jones
The Houston Rockets’ Undrafted guard was some of the best news from Texans in the first game of the post-James Harden era. The 22-year-old had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, with 8/12 (66.7%) shooting from the field and 6/8 (75%) in triples.
Quintet
Damian Lillard (POR); James Harden (BKN); Kevin Durant (BKN); Straw Grant (DET); Nikola Vucevic (ORL)
The data
After 3,131 days, the Kevin Durant – James Harden couple was reunited as a team. Plus, the ‘beard’ earned the Brooklyn Nets game record for most assists for a rookie. He is also the first player in NBA history to achieve a 30-point triple-double in his debut with a team.
