Irving came up big as he dropped 38 points which helped to cause the upset against a solid Milwaukee team.

With Kevin Durant returning next week this was just the perfect result that would have gone the way for Brooklyn Nets. Seth Curry also contributed with 19 points which helped massively for securing the victory at a tough place against a tough team.
Giannis scored 29 points while Khris Middleton scored 25 points. Bobby Portis had a massive 30 point game but that still was not enough to beat this Brooklyn squad. The Brooklyns made some big defensive plays at the end of the game to get the victory.
Andre Drummond and James Johnson had game-winning blocks that contributed massively to the victory of the Nets with Kyrie Irving shining in clutch moments to lead his team to the victory.
They showed the world why they are so highly touted as without Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons they were able to defeat the defending champions which will set their way for the rest of the regular season as they seek to improve their record and qualify for the playoffs.
Steve Nash talked about the return of KD and he said, “Every day closer, We’ll see. I expect in the next week he’ll be back for sure. It could be quick; it could be the whole week barring any setbacks.“
