An NBA regular season focus battle, the Brooklyn Nets away to the Miami Heat. At the end of the half, the Nets temporarily led a significant 67-46. In the second quarter, the Nets went crazy, blasting 40 points + a net win of 19 points in a single quarter, and Durant exploded to crush the top of the Eastern Conference.
Obviously, you can't just look at the Nets in terms of record and ranking, and when they have Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to play together, they can compete with any of the top teams in the league. Although the Heat are at the top of the Eastern Conference, their recent form is not good, they have suffered three consecutive defeats, and they are a team that relies on the whole, and no star has such a strong scoring explosive force as Durant and Irving, so this is a confrontation of two different styles.
In the first quarter, the two teams played fiercely, which was considered to be a close match, and the Nets only won two points 27-25. In this section, the two sides come and go, although they can also play a small attack wave, but the opponent can respond immediately. In the second quarter, when the Nets tried to pull the gap apart again, the Heat had a hard time responding. Irving took the lead, ignoring the opponent's bag and scoring 7 consecutive points. Durant then followed, running to 20 points at halftime, and the Nets also hit their opponents 40-21, winning 19 points in a single quarter and walking into the halftime with a 20+ advantage.
Durant exploded, playing just 18 minutes, shooting 7-of-12 from the field, 5-of-6 from the free throw line, and cutting down 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, filling the data column. And Irving also had double-figures, with 10 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. These two superstars are the only two in the whole game, and no one on the other side is on the double. In addition, the Nets have a lot of scoring points, Drummond 9 points and 8 rebounds, Claxton 8 points and 4 rebounds, all contributed a lot.
The gap of more than 20 points, big is not big, small is not small, the time to test the Nets' control and the Heat's ability to play against the wind has arrived, which is the key task of both sides in the second half.
