Durant scores triple, Nets convert in last minute and beat Sixers | NBA
4 min readSince pre-season, the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets have made headlines for Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving’s more off-court work than basketball. But when the ball went up without the two superstars, the teams played Friday night’s game in Philadelphia. The visitors’ victory by 114-109 tastes of an epic comeback.
It was curling 47 minutes ago on the scoreboard. The 48-second lead on the clock came after a 13-0 streak in the closing minutes. Kevin Durant scored a triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge came off the bench and has 23 points and 5 rebounds. James Harden was the other lead, with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. The team has recovered from its first loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and now faces the Hornets at home on Sunday.

On the Sixers’ side, Ben Simmons met his teammates and coach Doc Rivers, and it appears he’s made up for it. However, he asked for some time to get back into the games. Without his starting guard, Tobias Harris was the team’s goalkeeper with 23 points, plus 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Seth Curry also scored 23.
Joel Embiid, who sent Simmons a love letter on the field before the game, Philadelphia’s first this regular season, earned 19 points with only 6 baskets from 15 attempts on the court. The team won their first duel of the year against the Pelicans. The next challenge is against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, away from home.
