A 147-135 loss in a double OT game is really disappointing. Especially when it giant teams like Brooklyn Nets are on the losing end. Harden had a triple double while KD and Kyrie individual exploded with 30+ points each. Durant seems happy with the reunion anyhow. He really is optimistic about some serious performances by the trio already.

Can the Big 3 of James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving keep the title hopes alive for Brooklyn Nets?

In the post-match interview Durant said, “It felt right. It felt perfect. It felt like we belong together; like this journey together is going to be fun. Tough first start, it was an up and down game for us but I like where we are.” They winning streak just got mutilated with the loss. With such an overwhelming offence all the team needs to focus about is the defense.

Nets are really bad in the defense. It was quite evident as they could not stop the scoring man today. After some trades to make up for Harden’s contract, the team is crippling during the defense. The Big 3 are really burdened now. The title vision seems fading away. Can the trio save the team from drowning and keep the title hopes alive?
