DETROIT — The Nets desperately needed to win Saturday’s game against the Pistons. And Kyrie Irving went did what a star should — he delivered the victory.
The Nets saved their campaign last year with a dramatic, midseason turnaround, and over the next two weeks, they will have their best chance for an encore. Perhaps it started — thanks to Irving — with their 121-111 overtime win over the Pistons at Little Caesars Arena.
The star guard had a game-high 45 points, including 33 after the Nets had trailed by 10 at halftime. It’s his highest-scoring outing since dropping 50 in the season opener.
