Kevin Durant returns and Nets overpowered the Suns

Eastern Conference-leading team Brooklyn Nets received a huge boost after Kevin Durant joined the team after being sidelined due to a thigh contusion. While Irving handed the charge in his absence but Nets brought a different energy to the floor this time around beating Phoenix Suns by 128-119. The former MVP posted 33 points off the bench, shooting 12 for 21 with 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals in 28 minutes. While his teammate Kyrie Irving shot 10 of 19 and posted 34 points with 12 assists.

Nets have improved their score to 41-20 and are without former Rockets player, James Harden. While Suns are 42-18 and had Devin Booker's 36 points and had Deandre Ayton on 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the team but it was not enough against the powerful Nets duo.
