Although Kevin Durant was given a rest tonight (Friday-Saturday), Brooklyn’s loss to Cleveland, which was the second in a row in two days, surprised many across the league, including some of the Nets players.
KD sat on the bench throughout the game after playing about 50 minutes in the previous loss to the Cubs after overtime, and in his absence James Harden and Kyrie Irving once again struggled against excellent Colin Sexton, and Cleveland's high duo Andre Drummond beat Jarrett Allen.

"It can't be hidden, these are two humiliating losses," Irving admitted at the end, after his team once again showed a loose defense when they absorbed 64 points in color, after the 70 they snatched in color in the previous loss.
"134 points in two games inside the point - that's way too much," Harden noted.
"Happens when you fail to take a rebound, happens when you fail to block a shot, but tonight it happened too much. We are still studying each other, we did not have too much training together. Our problem is not the offense, our problem in defense."
"We need to find a way to play better," Steve Nash said.
"We need to dig deep and keep much better on defense because we are not a defensive team. We need to fight harder and fight for every ball. I think that is what we are missing. It is not enough to show up at the gym, we also have to work hard. I do not want to exaggerate, but it's time "That the guys will raise themselves after these two games. Other teams are very excited to play against us and they will make life difficult for us."
"We must not stress or panic," reassured Diandra Jordan, who struggled against Drummond Wallen.
"Everyone wants us to panic, but we simply must not. We did not build Rome in one day either."
Joel Ambide continued his journey toward the MVP title tonight as well, after continuing with tremendous ability from the start of the season, in Philadelphia's second straight win over Boston.
The Cameroonian center, who scored 42 points two days ago against the Celtics, this time contributed 38 on 11 of 15 from the field along with 11 rebounds.
"We have a great team, but we are still learning how to play together," admitted Ambid, who was also praised by his friend Ben Simmons: "He realized this season that he has a bunch of players by his side who can make him a legend. He talks to us a lot more, he has become a leader."
