ATLANTA (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 32 points and James Harden had 31 to lead a productive effort for Brooklyn’s big three scorers, and the Nets beat the Atlanta Hawks 132-128 in overtime on Wednesday night.
Harden added 15 assists and eight rebounds. Kyrie Irving scored 26 points for Brooklyn.
Harden, acquired from Houston on Jan. 14, started slowly before scoring 16 points in the second period. It was an indication he is finding his place in the Nets’ offense after not scoring more than 21 points in any of his previous four games.
