Virtually nothing has gone according to plan since Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving came to Brooklyn. But that may be starting to change.
The Hornets were double-teaming Durant, so he handled the ball near half-court as Irving set up for a pick. When Irving’s man stuck with Durant, Durant passed over the double-team and found a rolling Irving, who knocked down a jumper.
The next possession, Irving was the ball-handler, and after the middle-of-the-court screen, Durant was freed up because Charlotte’s Jalen McDaniels briefly stuck with Irving. McDaniels scrambled back to Durant, who then created enough space to sink a long jumper. If Durant were covered, he had Seth Curry and Joe Harris — in a small, sweet-shooting lineup — in the corners.
“Me and him coming off screen-and-rolls with each other, being aggressive and making plays, it’s one of the good plays for our team,” said Irving, who scored 33 and looks back in stride 10 games after returning from his suspension., and Irving watch from the bench for the fourth quarter in a game that looked like a laugher for the first 24 minutes.
