The Nets will look to keep their win streak going when they visit the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Just not enough for #Cavs to get over the hump. Brooklyn also jumped Cleveland for third place in the Eastern Conference.

Durant's elite scoring has vaulted the Nets into contention and him toward the top of the NBA record books.

The 12-time All-Star and former MVP is at the forefront of Brooklyn’s mid-season surge. Since returning from a torn Achilles with Golden State, Durant is averaging 29.0 points on 53.5% shooting over the last three seasons, including 39.7% from deep and 90.7% from the free throw line. — NBA (@NBA)

The Brooklyn Nets' Monday win against the Cleveland Cavaliers is pretty special for Kevin Durant. Not only did they record their ninth straight win and ...

After all, it’s the San Antonio Spurs legend we’re talking about, the player often considered as the greatest power forward of all time. It might be a “small win” compared to getting a championship, but it’s one he wants to celebrate. He needed just 14 points to topple Timmy from his spot, and he ended up with 32 points in an insanely efficient scoring night.

Doncic is also one of the best playmakers in the NBA, and he is smart enough to make adjustments. Kyrie Irving, who won a title with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, will return to play against his former team. Even when he is not double-teamed, he is defended very tightly. For comparison: That is far more often than how opponents typically guard Doncic, who had previously been trapped on 2.6 ball screens per game. The rule is enforced when an opposing defender does not make a play on the ball to stop a scoring opportunity in transition. “Doncic is the player who sees the most possessions double-teamed per game, via NBA Court Optix. But the call has led to some controversy, like when the Warriors played the Grizzlies on Christmas Day: That means each team may get called for a transition take foul around 8 times per season. He tweeted that [may have been the right call](https://twitter.com/NateDuncanNBA/status/1607208402199138304?s=20&t=GQ9f2tbnvgwS7Ycqa-bXGg), even if it doesn’t do much to [enforce the spirit of the rule](https://twitter.com/MoDakhil_NBA/status/1607206350089777152). Transition take fouls are still not called very often. It makes sense why Kerr was confused.

Mobley spent time this summer honing his craft against Kevin Durant and other NBA stars. It's just a sign of the effort he puts in to grow.

And he understands a lot of times it’s like, young guys, I got to take the shot, or I gotta drive the ball or I gotta make the final play. And, obviously, at the end of the day, it’s impacted our record, and our success is he just somehow finds a way to help finish out ballgames and to make a play. The Cavs continue to believe that Mobley is the guy who can help take the Cavs to the next level. Just him just taking the challenge on a defensive and then going at him on the offensive end, I mean, just showing his growth and his confidence.” Mobley can guard one through five, and on the offensive end, can take advantage of switches, push the ball in transition and score down low. Bickerstaff said there isn’t a spot on the floor where they aren’t comfortable with Mobley having the ball in his hands, and either the shot he can create or take. “They played a lot of pick-and-roll when he was guarding him, and now you have to learn how to navigate those screens and do stuff we haven’t had him do a ton of, but he takes the challenge. Durant finished with 32 points, shooting 10 of 18 from the field and 5 of 8 from 3, but overall, Mobley believed he did a decent job guarding Durant. 49 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and is on a two-way contract with the Cavs – also was a part of those pickup games. Mobley even stood over Durant as he was on the floor following a contested shot but was called for a foul.

Seeing his work ethic up close is something I wanted to see as a fan of the game because you can see the potential if you see a guy work.

As a pure shooter with elite size, Durant has the type of game that should age exceptionally well.
