"With Kevin Durant in the game, good things happen": Steve Nash gives huge props to the Brooklyn superstar following his 42-point performance over Caris LeVert's Pacers

Following Kevin Durant’s incredible 42-point performance over the Pacers, Steve Nash gushed over how KD makes his job easier as a coach.

Behind the leadership of superstars Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets are definitely one of the deadliest teams in the league. With the addition of Blake Griffin, the Nets only strengthened and deepened their bench.

Over the course of the season, Brooklyn has taken over the title of being the “favourites” to win the championship from reigning champions Los Angeles Lakers.

On Thursday night, the Nets were hosted by a Caris LeVert-led Indiana Pacers team at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Nets, who recently got KD back in their lineup, were definitely the expected team to win the match. Behind an impressive 42-point and 10-assists double-double performance, Brooklyn routed Indiana 130-113.
