If anyone forgot about what and who was all the fuss, Kyrie Irving returned to the pitches tonight and provided some moments of spark: Irwig finished with 22 points in his league debut this season, Kevin Durant added 39 points, and Brooklyn pulled off an encouraging victory. As a reminder, Irving did not play this season due to his refusal to get vaccinated, the Nets management reversed its decision and allowed him to appear in away games, and tonight he helped the Nets come back from a 19-point deficit, with a fourth quarter of 20:35 for the visitors, with Kyrie playing 32 minutes and helping Brooklyn break three Losses. "He looks like himself, and that's not surprising," Steve Nash said of the guard, and Durant added, "He doesn't look excited or nervous. He kept Poker Face. He's quiet, but plays with passion and energy." Irving, who finished with 9 of 17 from the field and 4 assists, said: "The game had a different meaning, after eight months out and all the uncertainty. By the second half I was already acclimatized. I will do whatever the team needs."On the other side Domantes Savonis finished with a big triple double (32, 12 and 10), and Lance Stevenson (in his first home game as part of his comeback and 10-day contract) scored 30 points in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

Dallas (18:20) - Golden State (8:29) 82:99
Dallas celebrated tonight the hanging of the legendary Dirk Nowitzki's tank top on the roof of the hall, owner Mark Cuban unveiled the Nowitzki statue to be built outside the hall, and the Mabs carried on the energy waves and defeated Golden State, with Luka Doncic scoring 26 points. On the other hand, Stephen Kerry went through his worst shooting evening of the season, finishing with 14 points on 5 of 24 from the field. Kerry, who injured his quadriceps during the game, is likely to miss the next game against New Orleans. He still played 36 minutes, but seemed a bit limited. "Yeah, it sucks," Steph said at the end, "I don't think I'll play the next game, as it feels right now." Steph has scored just 8 of 41 in the last two games, scoring just 23 points and finishing with just 2 of 29 of the three. Dallas, on the other hand, is recording its fourth straight win, the third since Luka Doncic returned from absence.

Milwaukee appeared without coach Mike Bodenholzer (Corona) and without Yannis Antocompo (sick, not Corona), and the Bucks did look good in the first half when they scored 61 percent from the field and led 68: 77 at the break, but in the second half the champion scored only 34 points, and the fiery Pascal Siakam scored 33 points and led Toronto to an away win.
OJ Anonobi and Gary Trent added 22 points each for the Canadians, Fred and Anvit scored 19. Toronto trailed 14 from the third quarter, climbed to a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter, Milwaukee shrank to just 4, but the Raptors knew how to close the story.
Chris Middleton scored 25 that were not enough.
In the last five games Siakam has averaged 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Toronto with four straight wins.
