And after making the first, Kevin Durant (26 points, four assists, four rebounds) missed the second free throw and the Brooklyn Nets lost 96-94 to the Dallas Mavericks before a sellout crowd of 20,011 at American Airlines Center.

“I gotta make that. I gotta make that. That’s the game. We’d probably still be playing right now. Fu*k, man. I felt like I went through my whole routine. Damn, I should have shot it a little stronger,” said Durant, who hadn’t missed since Oct. 26 at Milwaukee. “It sucks. Not much more I can say about it.”
