2x NBA Champion Kevin Durant is currently making rounds in the NBA world with emphatic performances but he could face a few bumpers on his way. Though the Brooklyn Nets pulled off an exciting game against the Miami Heat, Durant’s news might worry the fans. Moreover, the fans are upset over Kyrie Irving after the last-moment finish. There is nothing more exciting than a nail-biting finish but a slight mistake could fetch a lot of heat from the fans. Similarly, the NBA world didn’t go easy on Irving despite his decent outing.

Kevin Durant has been on a scoring tear averaging nearly 30 points per game. He was arguably the biggest contributor to Brooklyn’s recent resurgence back to the top. However, in an almost repeat of 2019, the Slim Reaper clenched his right knee midway through the third quarter in the clash against the Heat.

Tensions and concerns have risen about his potential health. But despite their leading scorer going down, the Nets pulled off a miracle win against Miami. However, that moment didn’t come before Kyrie Irving’s wild attempt to win the game.

Despite the absence of Kevin Durant, the Nets pull off a nail biter

During the fourth quarter of the Sunday night game between the Nets and the Heat, the Nets grabbed the victory from the shambles of loss. With less than 15 seconds left in the game, the Heat were leading the game by one point (101-100). That’s when Kyrie Irving dribbled the ball close to the three-point arc and took a shot.
