Brooklyn Nets advance to playoffs with room for improvement
The Brooklyn Nets advanced Tuesday with a win over the Cavaliers, but it left a lot to be concerned about, Yaron Weitzman writes.APRIL 13, 2022
Nets have Kevin Durant and no one else does. It's enough to beat Cleveland, will it be enough to beat the East? Durant's ability to toggle between roles for the Nets, assimilating himself based on what they need, is peerless. He displayed that Tuesday.

Andre Drummond - Strong line in 19 minutes Drummond finished with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 115-108 victory over Cleveland.
Impact Drummond played only 19 minutes compared to Nicolas Claxton's 29, but the former still managed to put up quality stats. It remains to be seen how coach Steve Nash will deploy the two centers against the Celtics, and their workloads could change on a game-to-game basis.

Nic Claxton - Strong performance in win Claxton notched 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and five blocks over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 115-108 victory over the Cavaliers.
Impact Claxton saw 29 minutes to Andre Drummond's 19, as the former was doing a better job countering the athleticism of Evan Mobley while contesting shots around the basket in general. It remains to be seen which center will have the better playoff campaign, and their workloads may change on a game-to-game basis.

Kevin Durant - Does it all in win over Cavs Durant notched 25 points (9-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and two steals in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 115-108 victory over Cleveland.
Impact Durant had an excellent all-around performance, notably dishing out double-digit assists for a seventh time this season and tying his season-high three blocks. It's no secret that he and Kyrie Irving will be the focal points of the Nets' offense in the playoffs, and even though everyone knows it's coming, sometimes it's just impossible to stop.

Bruce Brown - Stuffs stat sheet Tuesday Brown produced 18 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 115-108 win over Cleveland.
Impact Brown ended up being a focal point of Brooklyn's offense, as the Cavaliers opted to double-team Kyrie Irving in the second half, leading to passes to Brown in the middle of the floor. It's possible the Celtics will also opt to overplay Irving and Kevin Durant, which could continue leading to Brown being a playmaker in the paint off of cuts.

Seth Curry - Invisible during play-in win Curry chipped in zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 115-108 victory over the Cavaliers.
Impact Curry was essentially a non-factor, taking just four shots and failing to convert one. He'll presumably get more opportunities in the series against the Celtics, but it's a discouraging start to non-regular-season basketball for the sharpshooter.
APRIL 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyrie Irving - Electric during play-in victory Irving contributed 34 points (12-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 115-108 victory over the Cavaliers.
Impact Irving didn't miss a field goal until the second half, finishing with an absurdly-efficient 34 points on 15 shots. Plus, his 12 assists represented a season high, and it was his first 30-and-10 game of the campaign. Now, Irving and the Nets face a playoff series against the point guard's former team, the Celtics. The series tips off Sunday.
