Durant followed with Brooklyn's next six points, including a 3-pointer that essentially put it away at 120-113 with 27 seconds to play.
They want to come out and compete, and everybody came with it tonight, especially in the second half,โ Durant said.
Nets: Before the game, coach Steve Nash wasn't sure if Durant would play Wednesday at New York.
โWe have to judge these things day to day and moment to moment.โ Durant said afterward he planned to play.
