Not much has gone awry lately for the high-flying Nets, who pushed their NBA-best winning streak to eight games Friday night with a 118-100 victory over the Bucks at Barclays Center.
Kevin Durant led the way with 24 points, Nic Claxton added 19, and six different Nets scored in double-figures in a bullying performance. The Nets led by as many as 23 points in the second half and have now won 12 of their last 13 games. No such rally was needed Friday. Seamless ball movement — the Nets notched 11 assists on their first 13 baskets — helped open up a seven-point lead after the first quarter. Then, a steal and fastbreak slam by Claxton put the Nets up by double digits and drew the ire of Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, whom Claxton bumped on his way back to the bench after Milwaukee called for a timeout.
Much as they did to open the game Friday, the Nets heeded Vaughn’s message and came out of the locker room for the second half clicking and determined. Five minutes into the third quarter, a Royce O’Neale straightaway 3-pointer increased the lead to 20. A few moments later, Ben Simmons lofted home a sky hook to swell the lead to 23. The Bucks, worthy of their pedigree, didn’t go away easily.
