In his first outing as a Brooklyn Net we saw glimpses of the Kevin Durant we know and love. He finished the night with:

15 PTS
3 AST
3 REB
2 BLK

Here’s a breakdown of the performance ( @TheJManJBT)

His first points as a Net saw him close out strong for the slam.

THREAD:
We’re gonna see Durant as the facilitator in the open court a lot this season.
Achilles injury or not, there’s no stopping a 7 footer with a wet jumper.
This looks like a shot he’s practiced with Steve Nash in Golden State, the one-legged fadeaway.
Shows great lateral quickness as he forces the block on Rui’s drive.
In case anyone forgot, KD is long as hell.
The KD-Kyrie connection is already in full force with this awesome open court feed from Irving to Durant for the layup.
Jordan’s off-ball screen gives Durant a slither of space, and for a shooter as elite as KD, that’s all he needs to find his spot.
