Nets remain perfect on extended stand
Durant's 39 points lift Brooklyn over Washington, 113-107
Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets continued to fatten up at home for the holidays.
Durant finished with 39 points and Kyrie Irving added 15 of his 27 in the fourth quarter as Brooklyn improved to 3-0 on its season-high seven-game homestand with a 113-107 victory over the Washington Wizards in front of 15,963 fans on the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush.
Finally above .500 for the first time this year, the Nets (12-11) also completed their first three-game winning streak of the campaign.
Durant has had plenty to do with both accomplishments, averaging 38.3 points per contest since the Nets returned to Brooklyn following a 128-117 loss at Indiana on the day after Thanksgiving.
