NEW YORK – Kyrie Irving had 27 points and nine assists, James Harden scored 20 points and the Nets extended their longest winning streak since moving to Brooklyn to eight games with a 129-92 rout of the Orlando Magic on Thursday night.
The Nets have the longest current winning streak in the NBA and their longest since a franchise record-tying 14-game run late in the 2005-06 season.
They moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn in 2012. This roll has come almost entirely without Kevin Durant, who missed his sixth straight game with a strained left hamstring. “We just want him to stay patient, stay peaceful and when he comes back the world will be on notice again,” Irving said.
