Kevin Durant hitting the crossover
The Brooklyn Nets received just what it needed from Kevin Durant, who carried them to victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday. However, Durant was reluctant to accept much of the credit for the crazy play that destroyed Daniel Gafford’s ankles and caused the Wizards center to touch the floor.
One of the league’s most dynamic players, Kevin Durant is without a doubt a top-tier shot-creator. He presently ranks among the top five scorers in the league, but his team is unable to match him because of internal strife in the franchise. During a recent Brooklyn Nets game against the Washington Wizards, his offensive prowess was on full show. Although the 2022–23 NBA season has just begun, Durant has already made a play of the year nomination.
Daniel Gafford was defending Kevin Durant on an offensive play in the closing seconds of the first quarter. In the end, the superstar used an ankle breaker to cross up Daniel Gafford he nailed the midrange shot. But the hilarious piece was Durant’s postgame interview with a reporter. When asked about the crossover, he said: “I really thought he slipped on some sweat there so I can’t take full credit for it.. I was glad that we was able to get some momentum, I was able to get some space to do my thing and I’m glad I finished the shot too.”
Kevin Durant and the Nets take down the Wizards at Washington
The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Washington Wizards 128-86 on Friday night in their first game without Kyrie Irving, led by Kevin Durant’s 28 points, 11 assists, and nine rebounds. Despite missing Ben Simmons and Seth Curry due to injury as well, the Nets nevertheless managed to win for just the third game this year. Nic Claxton contributed 18 points to the occasion, Cam Thomas had 17 points, Edmond Sumner had 11 while starting in place of Kyrie Irving, Yuta Watanabe had 14 points and Royce O’Neale had 13 points and eight assists.
With 20 points, Bradley Beal led Washington. Kristaps Porzingis had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Kyle Kuzma scored 19 points. But because they were the only players to score in double figures, they were unable to stand up to the Nets’ offensive barrage of 60 points in the paint. Washington’s performance was disappointing after their impressive victory at Philadelphia on Wednesday. The Wizards only made 8 of 34 attempts from beyond the arc, compared to the Nets’ 14 of 28, which helped the Nets win.
Durant having the form of his life despite his team’s controversies
Even though Kevin Durant may not be the dominant superstar he was in his heyday, most fans and analysts still rank him among the league’s top ten players. The idea that he is the best player in the world, though, has undoubtedly been questioned by some. Many of them, in particular, have stated that they can’t consider Durant to be the best player in the world unless he is able to return to the playoffs and demonstrate that he is still at that level.
Kevin Durant has been averaging 32.5 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 4.4 APG this season, which are all excellent individual averages. This season, making the playoffs and perhaps going all the way will be the ambition for the Brooklyn Nets and Durant. The team undoubtedly has a strong roster, but given the problems surrounding Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons’ inconsistent performances, and Steve Nash’s dismissal, it will be interesting to watch how they handle this season.
