Nets 127, Timberwolv­es 97

MINNEAPOLI­S — Kevin Durant scored 31 points on 11-for-15 shooting in his most productive performanc­e in 2½ months, as the Brooklyn Nets blew out the Minnesota Timberwolv­es.

The game was reschedule­d from the previous night, in the aftermath of a fatal police shooting of a Black man in a nearby suburb. The Timberwolv­es held a moment of silence before tipoff for 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who was killed after a traffic stop. Players from both teams wore black warmup shirts that read, “With liberty and justice for all,” with the last two words in all-caps for extra emphasis.

Durant played 27 minutes in his third game back from a strained left hamstring that kept him out for 23 games. The Nets, missing James Harden, Kyrie Irving and LaMarcus Aldridge, were in command from the jump and ahead by 23 points before the midpoint of the second quarter. They built their lead as big as 45 points early in the fourth quarter.

Joe Harris pitched in 23 points for the Nets, who had 31 assists on 46 made baskets.

TAMPA, Fla. — Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 23 points, Clint Capela added 19 points and 21 rebounds, and Atlanta beat Toronto for its seventh win in eight games.
