The Brooklyn Nets lit it up in first quarter of Tuesday night’s season-opening 125-99 win over the Golden State Warriors, and Kevin Durant played a big part in that, scoring 10 points inside of the first five minutes of the game while chipping in an assist.
With the Nets taking such a large lead over the Warriors early in Tuesday’s contest, Durant didn’t play one second of the fourth quarter. He wound up logging 25 minutes in his regular season debut in a Brooklyn uniform, finishing with 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting from the floor (1-for-2 from 3-point territory) and 7-for-7 shooting at the free-throw line.
