The Nets got the bounce-back win they wanted. But the much-needed rest for Kevin Durant? That they wasted — along with a huge lead.
Brooklyn rebounded from Sunday’s loss to league-leading Boston, cruising to a 122-116 victory over the Hornets before 16,903 Wednesday at Barclays Center.
With Durant having logged more minutes on his 34-year-old legs than any player in the NBA, Wednesday offered a golden opportunity to steal some much-needed rest. The injury-riddled Hornets came into the night playing without LaMelo Ball and Gordon Hayward, a veritable gift from the league schedule-makers.And the Nets wasted that gift.
Terry Rozier pulled Charlotte within 109-107. And after Nic Claxton missed a pair at the foul line with 5:59 to play, the Hornets had a chance to tie.
