The Brooklyn Nets won the NBA top match against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday with 128-119.
Kevin Durant, who has returned from injury, was the star of the Nets star formation with 33 points, although Kyrie Irving did even better with 34 points. On the other side, 26 points from Devin Booker were not enough for the Suns, the number two in the Western Conference. Brooklyn consolidates its leadership position in the Eastern Conference with his 41st win of the season.
The Golden State Warriors are under the impetus of an unleashed Stephen Curry. At home, Sacramento was beaten with 117-113, thanks in part to 37 points from Curry. In his last fourteen games, Curry came out above thirty points thirteen times. Only on Wednesday against the Wizards that did not work.
Washington then set Cleveland aside with 119-110 and thus registered its eighth victory in a row, only the New York Knicks do better with a run of nine victories. With 27 victories on the counter, they have now moved up to tenth place in the Eastern Conference.
