Kevin Durant shocked by the talent of a young player!
After taking on Cade Cunningham a few days ago, Kevin Durant came across another impressive rookie this Sunday night. As much to say it immediately in view of his statement, the winger is completely under the spell. Raptors fans can understand that.
Not in the best shape since the start of the season, the Nets are doing a little better recently. Kevin Durant is at the level, since he can claim the title of MVP. This Sunday night, against the Raptors, he still stalled 31 points to 11/18 shooting, in addition to 7 rebounds and 7 assists. A usual performance for him on this exercise, but he was helped by James Harden.
Yes, things are better for the Bearded Man who finishes with 28 units at 10/20 shooting, with the added bonus of 10 rebounds and 8 distilled assists. It is not yet perfect of course, but we feel the best for Brooklyn, which brings its record to 7-3. In the end, it was a solid victory over Toronto with a score of 116-103.
A favorite for the rookie of the year? KD thinks so!
But for the franchise of Canada, despite this defeat, there are some satisfactions. Fred VanVleet is ramping up, Pascal Siakam is back with 15 units, while Scottie Barnes’ performance impresses. He compiles 8 points at 4/7 shooting certainly, but accumulates 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals! Defensively, his activity was remarkable, as here on Harden.
