Halmost 10 months ago, Kyrie Irving he sprained his ankle at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The Nets led the series, 2-0, but that mishap began to mark the start of a comeback for the Nets. Bucks and the harsh elimination of Brooklyn, in one of the best series of recent years. It also marked the beginning of the title won by the Wisconsin.
Since then, the base was involved in lots of turbulencetransfer rumors, vaccination problems… That’s why your first visit to the ‘scene’ was so important and can also be a turning point for your team.
If the Nets they need evidence to believe that even fighting for the ring, this match can serve as an example, it can be “the light at the end of the tunnel“, as Irving himself said as sending a message of optimism to his fans. They beat the Bucks in Milwaukee, 123-136, with a superb performance by ‘Uncle’ Kyrie, the best of the course with 38 points but, above all, the feeling that that point guard who amazed the NBA has returned. At least, of course, in Nets road games.
“I have prepared a lot for this match for what happened in the playoffs. And it’s definitely been a relief to come back here, healthy, win and show that we can be in contention with the best.”
And all this, hoping that Kevin Durant come back next week, without the contest yet Ben Simmonswith which work continues, and with the debut, six points, of Goran Dragic.

Bring Young had been resoundingly shipwrecked in Chicago with 14 points. But for great players, there are no two disappointments in a row. The base of the Hawks he retaliated with 41 points and the victory, 127-100 against the Raptors.
But the most amazing thing about Young’s great game, who led his team’s comeback when they trailed by 12 in the second quarter, was the impressive 17 of 24 shooting from the field, an unusual mark for someone who shoots at breakneck speed.
