Warriors’ guard Klay Thompson has been getting help from former teammate Kevin Durant in his injury rehab from the Achilles tear.

The Brooklyn Nets made their way to the Bay last night, as they faced the Golden State Warriors. Kevin Durant played against his former team, the Warriors, but things weren’t exactly the same. This was the first time Kevin Durant was playing in the Chase Center. The Nets beat the Warriors 134-117.

Kevin Durant chipped in with a casual 20 points, as his team had 6 players in double digits. The Nets showed a team effort, and no single player had to carry the scoring burden.
