It’s like a water weight on the Nets’ shoulders magically evaporated overnight.
It was a homecoming party for superstar forward Kevin Durant, who continued his march up the NBA’s all-time leading scorer’s list with yet another night to remember: In his hometown of Washington, D.C., Durant claimed Wizards’ C Daniel Gafford’s ankles with a crossover flurry that sent Gafford into a full split.
That play resulted in one of many field goals for Durant, who powered the Nets to a dominant 128-86 victory over the Wizards on Friday. It was the largest margin of defeat at home in Wizards’ history.
