Kevin Durant martyred by PJ Tucker, Nash gets annoyed

While Kyrie Irving rejoined the infirmary after his injury, Kevin Durant had a complicated evening, completely dominated by PJ Tucker. At a press conference, Steve Nash seemed very annoyed.

Dominating for a long time in this second round of the playoffs against the Bucks, the Nets have just lost two games in a row. Defeated 96-107 this Sunday evening in a match marked by Kyrie Irving’s injury. This inevitably upset the men of Steve Nash, and maybe Kevin Durant, who had a very bad evening.

Rather clumsy, the winger was content with 28 points at 9/25 shooting, including 1/8 at three points. Dirty night for so for KD, but it’s not an accident either. A man completely turned it off in front of him: PJ Tucker, who arrived at the Bucks during the season.

And this is where we see that the veteran’s contribution is doing a lot of good. In attack, he planted 3 award-winning shots in this Game 4 for 13 points in total. In defense, he was responsible for limiting Durant shooting, 25% exactly. ESPN dropped a graphic after the meeting, and that says a lot about this feat.

Tucker does a wonderful job of limiting Durant as much as possible, and it works. Finally not for Steve Nash, rather bitter in a press conference in front of the defensive sequences of the player of the Bucks:

Nets coach Steve Nash on PJ Tucker’s defense of Kevin Durant: “I think it was bordering on non-basketball physique at times. “

Kevin Durant off, Steve Nash bitter, we can say that PJ Tucker had a bad night at the Nets this Sunday. The winger intends to continue this way, and the Bucks can believe in a big turnaround.
