WASHINGTON, D.C. – A month ago, the Nets turned in the worst defensive performance in the league this season. Since then, they’ve been as hot as any team in the Eastern Conference.
After winning Saturday in Indiana without eight rotation players, they got seven of them back against the Wizards. Kevin Durant – playing just miles from his Prince George’s county home – poured in 30 points, nine rebounds, six assists and flashed a huge Cheshire Cat grin after blocking a shot.There was Irving adding 24 points, six boards, five assists and sailing headlong into the stands for a loose ball with a 96-85 cushion in the fourth quarter.
No, Monday wasn’t anywhere near as dominant as their last meeting, when they came to Washington on Nov. 4 – Vaughn’s second game in charge as then-interim – and rolled to a 128-86 laugher with Irving suspended. But it was a continuation of the yeoman’s work ethic over the past month that will serve them well.
