CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In a game the Nets seemed first to win, then to lose, they had the last run of the night. And the last laugh.
Trailing by 80-69 in the final period, they closed with a 27-14 run. Kevin Durant led the way, with help from Cam Thomas.“Yeah, good challenge for us to see if we can put two games on both ends of the floor back-to-back against the team who had a tough game the other night,” interim coach Jacque Vaughn said before the game. “Both teams back-to-back, and see who responds. So looking forward to it.”
Kevin Durant, who scored 16 points, looks to make a move on Kelly Oubre during the Nets’ 98-94 win over the Hornets.The Nets defended well enough, but despite getting clean looks from 3-point range all evening, their shooting touch almost let them down late. Within striking distance, trailing just 70-69, they coughed up 10 unanswered points.
