The Brooklyn Nets withstood a sensational 46-point performance by Darius Garland, who single-handedly brought the Cleveland Cavaliers back in the fourth on Monday night. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant scored 32 points apiece for Brooklyn.

“To be honest, I think we’ve always been about ball,” said Durant, who fouled out in the final two minutes. “No disrespect to what you guys (the media) do – the outside noise from the media and the fans make it seem like we don’t care about the game. It’s the fact that you don’t have much to talk about outside the game.”
