Kevin Durant scored 24 points, and the Nets held Giannis Antetokounmpo scoreless in the fourth quarter and beat the Bucks 118-100 on Friday night for their eighth straight win. NetsWorld
The Nets started 8 of 10 from 3-point range and improved to an NBA-best 9-1 in December. They also won eight in a row in February 2021.
The Nets led 60-47 at halftime, with their 50% shooting nowhere near the 71% they hit against Golden State while taking a 40-point lead on Wednesday. But it was an impressive effort against a Bucks team that came in second in the league, holding teams to about 45%. The Bucks were within 10 nearly midway through the fourth quarter. But Kyrie Irving, back after a one-game absence, had 14 points in the fourth after scoring four points on 1-of-9 shooting through three quarters and soon it was back over 20 again.: Khris Middleton missed his fourth straight game with right knee soreness. ... Jevon Carter was in the starting lineup for the first time since Saturday.
"I probably am responsible for us not playing on Christmas with what went on this summer," he said this week."But hey, it is what it is. We play on the 26th, that's close enough."
