NBA: Joe Harris and Kevin Durant help Nets bury Hornets

Joe Harris scored 26 points and Kevin Durant poured in 25 points as the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Charlotte Hornets 130-115 on Friday night in a matchup of injury-riddled teams in New York.

Landry Shamet added 20 points off the Brooklyn bench.

The outcome means Brooklyn, which lost Wednesday night at Philadelphia, hasn't dropped consecutive games since early February.

Miles Bridges poured in 33 points and Terry Rozier had 27 points for the Hornets, while rookie center Vernon Carey Jr. notched a 21-point outing.

Charlotte has lost four games in a row for just the second time this season.
