The Nets have battled injuries and inconsistent play all season, but franchise cornerstone Kevin Durant has refused to pin the team’s up-and-down play on coach Steve Nash.
In fact, Durant gave a ringing endorsement of Nash when asked about his coach on Friday night following the team’s 118–107 victory over the Cavaliers.
“I think he’s done a great job. The last two years he’s been dealt a wild hand. Injuries, trades, disgruntled players, guys in and out the lineup, stuff that he can’t control and I felt like he handled it as best he could,” Durant told the media on Friday night.
