Nets, Raptors Showcase 'Absurd' Offense as Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving Outduel Siakam

In Brooklyn on Friday, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Toronto Raptors in a battle of three of the best players in the world.

Irving scored 30 points, including a personal seven point run in the third quarter and 13 in the fourth, for the Nets.

The Nets were up 105-106 with 56 seconds remaining in regulation, but a go-ahead three-pointer by KD gave them the lead. He helped Royce O' Neale put the Nets in front.

The Nets were able to overcome a fantastic outing from the other side of the ball. He shot 15-of-20 from the field for a total of 15 points.

Toronto and Brooklyn knocked down some tough shots.

Such absurd shot making in this Nets-Raptors game. There's nothing you can do when KD and Kyrie have it going like that.....and then the big shot from Royce.

Wosny Lambre @BigWos

kd and kyrie have hit back to back ridiculous shots.

After shooting just 6-of-19 for 15 points in a 130-108 loss to New Orleans, Irving was impressive.

Kyrie with a bounce back game with a solid 30 piece

After hitting the critical three, he assisted on O' Neale's bucket.

Kevin Durant is clutch don’t ever disrespect him again EVER again

He was the star of the game and he was recognized by the social networking site.

Pascal Siakam has been the best player on a court that also includes Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

A reminder that a year ago at this time he was watching from the bench, still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and a month away from getting back to pre-injury form.

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell

Siakam, much like Zion the other night, is just torching the Nets defense. He is 14-for-18 from the field and has 33 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Brooklyn's defense has no answer for him at all.

Chris Walder @WalderSports

Pascal Siakam is now one game away from tying Vince Carter for the Raptors franchise record in 30-point, 10-rebound, 5-assist games.

Oren Weisfeld @OrenWeisfeld

Brooklyn starts doubling Siakam in the fourth quarter and it's dimes on dimes. No answer for him.

The Nets entered the win column for the first time this year. They will travel to Memphis to take on the Grizzles. The Toronto Raptors will play the Miami Heat.
