Sunday marks the one-year anniversary of a sprained left knee that cost him 21 games and saw the Nets lose 15 times. In their first game since Durant sprained his left knee in a collision with Jimmy Butler a week ago in Miami, the Nets were held to 16 points in the fourth quarter and could not keep pace with the NBA's best team in a 109-98 loss Thursday night. The Nets were held under 100 points for the sixth time and shot 45. 2 percent after shooting at least 50 percent in 11 of their previous 15.
Brian Saide, USA, Retired, U. Army (Veteran) 1999 - 2002 I want to express my sincere appreciation to the Barclays Center/ Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment / BSE Global for allowed me the opportunity to take my nephew and niece to the Nets game. This was their first time and was amazing. We purchased their jerseys at the arena and quickly put it on with excitement. Lastly, we recorded the moment when they appeared in the big screen! It was very close to perfect. We didn't win the game. However, special memories will be forever store in the hearts of my nephew and niece thank you for making this possible.
The Barclays Center to Me has been one of the most welcoming venues especially as a Veteran/DAV Retiree…. I was sorry to see Brooklyn lose to OKC, but it was such as fast paced and great game… I really loved when Brooklyn especially turned up the heat in the 4th Quarter. Might we have had a few more minutes we might have been able to turn it up on OKC as we did on San Antonio just a few days before… Thank you for all you do to support Veterans and AD locally…. I look forward to having more opportunities again as last night…. Respectfully, Brian Cpt.

"Oklahoma City's performances are trending upwards of late and it is seeking its third three-game winning streak. Since enduring consecutive two-point losses to Memphis and Minnesota Dec. 16-17 to cap a five-game losing streak, the Thunder are 9-5 over their past 14 contests.
Brooklyn also fell to 14-2 in its past 16 games and is hoping to avoid consecutive losses for the first time since Nov. 13-15, when consecutive road losses to the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings dropped its record to 6-9. The Nets are also hoping for a more efficient showing from Kyrie Irving. Irving led Brooklyn with 24 points but also shot 9-of-24, including a 3-of-10 showing in the fourth quarter. "Each and every one of us, " Irving said of replacing Durant's 29. 7 points per game. "Every single day. It's just gonna be a collective effort. "T.
