It was a scary Wednesday night in Brooklyn.
The return of Kevin Durant featured a Brooklyn blowout, as the Nets defeated the Pelicans,139-111. With the win, the Nets take sole possession of the No. 1 seed in the East and improve to 36-16 on the season.
The story of the game was Durant, who returned to the hardwood after missing 23 games ... and one quarter.
The Nets superstar, who came off the bench in the second quarter, showed not a tinge of rust. Durant got a loud ovation from the Barclays Center crowd as he entered.
