James Harden led the team with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists, while LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in with a season-high 24 points. Kevin Durant added 23 points, while Patty Mills, in a rare starting role, had 21.
Harden talked about the team being able to push through after a tough back-to-back after returning from a season-high six-game road trip. “(Brooklyn needs to) find ways to come away with wins,” Harden said. “Find ways to keep improvising on both ends of the ball. It’s a long season.”
Without Kyrie Irving and the injured Joe Harris, Mills was placed in the starting lineup for the second-straight game and compared starting with coming off the bench. “It’s different for sure,” Mills said. “Obviously, with who I’m playing it’s a challenge in itself to be able to work out how to get a rhythm, how to impact the game. You just got to keep learning on the fly.”
