Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving returns, scores 37 points in double-overtime loss to Cleveland Cavaliers

CLEVELAND -- Kyrie Irving returned after a two-week hiatus on Wednesday, scoring 37 points in the Brooklyn Nets' 147-135 double-overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In his first game with Kevin Durant and James Harden, Irving played 48 minutes and made 15 of 28 field goal attempts. Durant finished with 38 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, while Harden had 21 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

Before the game, coach Steve Nash said he was "curious" to get a look at the Nets' All-Star trio in a game together, but was trying to avoid putting too much weight on a single game.
