Kevin Durant led the Brooklyn Nets tonight (Sunday to Monday) to a 91-117 victory with 23 points, even though he finished his way in the bout as early as the third quarter.
The forward pushed Kelly Olinik as he tried to get out of the block, suffered an unsportsmanlike offense and was sent off.
Just then, without the big star, the host went on a 0:11 run that wiped out the Pistons' comeback dreams.
"I take credit for this run, my dismissal ignited the team and the crowd," Durant said after the game, "I tried to fight and get through the block, and that's what happened."
For Durant this is the second game in a row in which he is involved in some disciplinary event, as after the previous game against Indiana he was fined $ 25,000 after throwing the ball into the stands.

Whoever took the reins after Durant was sent off is James Harden, who recorded his first triple-double of the season with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. In doing so, he equaled Larry Byrd in seventh place in his career triple-double with 59. The guard started the season a bit lame, and teammate Durant has an explanation for this: "He needs to get back to feeling comfortable, with the speed, pace and physicality of an NBA game. Retardation, sometimes it takes time. " Harden added: "We have shown signs that we can be a good team, but we are not even close to where we want to be."
At the same time, the Los Angeles Lakers came up with a positive balance for the first time when they defeated the weak Houston Rockets 85:95.
Whoever led it surprisingly or Carmelo Anthony who opened the season wonderfully.
Although the season is only in its early stages, "Melo" so far puts a career-high 50% off the field and 52.5% off the arc.
In addition, Anthony is averaging 16.7 points per game, the most since 2016/17 - his final season with the New York Knicks.

Tonight, aside from the offensive side, Anthony was also great on defense with two steals and four blocks.
His coach Frank Vogel complimented: "I did not expect this defensive display of his, he was great. He was in the right place, ready to do all these things. When he gives such a performance on defense and hits on offense, he becomes a big part of our victory."
Anthony for his part is accepting his role as a rising player, although many have questioned in recent years his readiness to adapt to the new status.
"I think people do not really understand me," Anthony said. What is required of me? "
