Brooklyn fans have experienced quite a few upheavals in the past year, with great hopes after the addition of the three superstars and recently huge disappointments after the team's dissolution of its stars (not to mention the storms in between).
Tonight they welcomed back with open arms Spencer Dinwiddie, who scored 25 points in his renewed debut with the Nets, just hours after the club traded Kevin Durant to Phoenix.
Joe Harris scored 18 points, Yuta Watanabe scored 14 off the bench, and Dorian Finney Smith, who came from Dallas along with Dinwiddie in the Kyrie trade, finished with 9 points and 9 rebounds in his debut.
"We just found a way to win," coach Jacques Vaughn said at the end.
Dinwiddie admitted: "It's been a strange 5-4 days for me, but if I had to choose a place to return to, it's without a doubt here."
General manager Sean Marks summed up the grandiose attempt that failed with Harden, Kyrie and Durant: "I look back on it and see, it didn't work. Let's not try to sugar coat it, let's be honest.
We have not reached the potential of what we hoped would happen, what we believed and thought.
We tried to do what was possible for the club and put ourselves in the best possible place.
But it didn't work.
Now we're looking for a new way." Zach LaVine scored 38 points for Chicago, DeMar DeRozan added 14, but the Bulls suffered their second straight loss and dropped to 18:10 on the road.

Atlanta (28:28) - Phoenix (27:30) 107:116
Phoenix is still suffering from injuries, its roster has thinned even more after releasing Michael Bridges and Cam Johnson in the Kevin Durant trade, KD still hasn't arrived - and so have the Suns The underdogs lost to Atlanta after Trae Young scored 25 of his 36 points in the second half.
It didn't affect Phoenix's positive mood that much.
"It's more than another encouragement," said coach Monty Williams about Durant's arrival, "it's mostly exciting, and not only because of the player he is, but also because of his love for the game."
Josh Okoji scored 25, DeAndre Ayton added 23, and although Phoenix's three-game winning streak is over, Andre Shamet claims: "Put Durant on any team, and he'll fit in. He'll score in any situation. Give him the ball, and he'll do the The right move."

Cole Anthony scored 17 points, Ball Ball added 17 points of his own, Wendell Carter Jr. led seven Orlando players with double-digit points when he scored 19, and the bench of The Magic scored a total of 55 points to lead them to a surprise win over the Western Conference leader.
Denver got off to a good start and went up to a quick 0:12, but from there Orlando started sniping and finished the first half with 63 percent from the field en route to a 16 point lead.
In the third quarter Aaron Gordon (who finished with 37 points and 14 rebounds) and Nikola Jokic (29 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists) scored all 29 points for Denver, but it was not enough.
The dirt on Westbrook is out
No.
Lakers (30:25) - Milwaukee (17:37)
The Lakers entered the game without LeBron James who was rested after the great record he set this week (ankle pain) and after the team released Russell Westbrook.
According to ESPN reporter Dave McMinnman, "As a Lakers official told me, 'You're letting the vampire out of your locker room.' Glamour, the blood-sucking vampire out of your locker room."
