 2020-2021 NBA SEASON - Last laugh to Nets vs Warriors

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Kevin Durant made a triumphant return to the San Francisco Bay Area Sunday, scoring 20 points to boost the Brooklyn Nets to convincing 134-117 NBA victory over the Golden State Warriors.

Durant won titles with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018, earning NBA Finals MVP honors each year before suffering a torn Achilles tendon in the 2019 championship series and then departing Golden State for the Nets.

His return came in the new arena in San Francisco that the Warriors moved into last season, where the lack of fans in the stadium made his appearance a more muted affair.

''It was good to see everybody,'' said Durant, who had hugs for former teammates Draymond Green and Stephen Curry and Warriors coach Steve Kerr.
