Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving finally all played together in the Nets’ win over the Bulls on Saturday.
Brooklyn put on an even better show yesterday.
In the Nets’ 123-109 win over the Cavaliers, Brooklyn had a highlight play befitting the Harlem Globetrotters.
Mike James made a leaping pass breakup. Blake Griffin caught the deflection and, in one swoop, made a behind-the-back outlet pass. Irving caught that and quickly passed ahead to a streaking James. James threw the ball off the backboard. Durant flew in for a thunderous dunk.
The play was so fun, those involved were still buzzing when describing it after the game:
"My instinct was to throw it off the glass, but I was a little bit nervous because if it would've been bad, I think my Nets career as a player might've been over."@KDTrey5, @blakegriffin23 and @TheNatural_05 break down 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 play 🎙 pic.twitter.com/eYxoCCKjm8
