Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant wishes to win the rest of the NBA regular-season games to become the top seeds in the East Conference. After returning to the starting lineup, Durant looks confident for the postseason.
Nets earned a massive victory over Charlotte Hornets last night by 130-115. They overcame some shaky early defense, then stormed back to swipe out the Hornets at Barclays Center. Kevin Durant, Joe Harris, and Steve Nash are the top performer, but Durant was phenomenal.
After his outstanding performance, KD appeared in an interview to express his feelings about smashing Hornets. However, Durant wants to keep performing like this and wants to start the postseason as a top team.
Currently, the Nets are at the No. 2 positions in the point table, and they have a greater chance to achieve the top position if they win the rest of the 13 games. “We want to win every game and play great basketball every time,” Durant shared his plan about starting the playoffs.
However, Kevin was also concerned about their injury and said, “I think we want to stay healthy. We want to keep, I think, defensively offensively continuing to find that groove that we’re in and get everybody back, and we’ll be fine, but we also we definitely want to win games.”
