All good things come to an end, and for the Brooklyn Nets, it was their 12-game winning streak on Wednesday night in Chicago. Kevin Durant maintained his MVP-level season with a 44-point performance but this game was reminiscent of last season where wins were an all-or-nothing prospect on KD's shoulders. Kyrie Irving provided some highlight moments but could not come through late to help the Nets over the hump.While Seth Curry poured in six three-pointers, the rest of the supporting cast was a complete no-show, highlighted by a rare off night for Royce O'Neal, who returned from a one-game absence.The Nets surrendered 69 first-half points, were late in rotations, and did little to deny entry passes into the paint. There are no alarm bells to sound but it was a good reminder that even the best teams can always improve and this loss should help motivate Brooklyn going forward. Learn more about your ad choices.
