Kevin Durant leads #Nets rally: “We lost 3 or 4 games before that, so we just felt some pride and wanting to come out here and get some W’s. So it’s good for our character. It’s good for energy and team to fight through adversity.” #nba nypost.com/2022/11/05/kev… via @nypostsports – 12:31 AM

KD on the win: “I just think we rallied around each other. It was a tough week for us. And it’s always good to just get back to the game. Once the ball is tipped all the bull**** goes out the window.” – 11:11 PM

KD carries the Nets back for a win
They deserve a lot of credit for crawling back and closing this one. KD was pumped at final buzzer. He emphatically high-fived each of his teammates. After one of the most tumultuous weeks in recent league history — the Nets close with 2 wins. – 9:30 PM

KD and Cam getting to their spots down the stretch.
And it all comes from making quick decisions. Trust the offense to flow back to you. – 9:24 PM

I don’t understand what role Mason Plumlee plays offensively in this lineup when they seem to go through PJ. He was just standing in the corner as if he was a floor spaced, Durant standing inside the paint ignoring him – 9:20 PM

The Nets look like they’re running out of gas on the second night of a back to back. They’ve scored just 23 points in the second half. The offense has stalled. KD coming back in for the final 6:30 in regulation. – 9:10 PM

Simmons is a shadow, Kyrie’s suspended, and the clock’s ticking on the next KD trade demand.
Time for Nets to admit the obvious: It’s over. Bring on the wrecking ball.

More on this storyline
“In a perfect world, I would be a part of it,” Durant told ESPN. “I would love to do it. I would love to give a little bit of my money to be a part of the Commanders, but we’ll see. Hopefully it’s somebody nice. I heard [Amazon CEO Jeff] Bezos and Jay-Z, but you never know.” A person with knowledge of the situation told ESPN’s John Keim that Bezos has interest in the team, with multiple reports saying Jay-Z might partner with a Bezos bid. Mat Ishbia, a finalist for the Denver Broncos’ ownership bid, released a statement expressing interest, as well. Byron Allen, who also made a bid on the Broncos, has also said he’d be interested. -via ESPN / November 6, 2022
“I would probably stay more of a fan than try to get involved with the team,” Durant said of being part of a Commanders ownership group. “And it would be something nice for my family, and just to have in our family, that would be incredible to be a part of that group. Just get a little closer to the team if I were to be able to be in that position. Try to learn the business, try to learn from an ownership’s perspective and a front-office perspective, coach’s perspective, try to get closer to players.” -via ESPN / November 6, 2022
