With their long list of superstars, it is not surprising that James Harden and the Brooklyn Nets are making merry in the Eastern Conference. They are working in tandem, and each member of their setup is contributing positively to the stats sheets. As a result, the side is in the 3rd position on the table. Yet, they needed some outrageous plays and a share of luck to scrape past the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.

The Nets have been graced with the return of starlet Kyrie Irving at the right time. After a long time, the terrific trio can shine again. Meanwhile, the Wizards have sharpened their roster themselves. Acquiring a couple of former Lakers to join Bradley Beal, the side is within the top-8 in the East. However, they were subjected to a questionable incident when they came up against a Kevin Durant-less Nets.

Kyle Kuzma destroys James Harden and Nets over ‘horseshit’ incident

Since the onset of the game, very little could separate the two sides. Nonetheless, it was the visitors who landed the clutch blows, leading comfortably after three quarters. In the absence of KD, Kyrie and LaMarcus Aldridge shone for the men in black. But as Washington came roaring back in Q4, Nets’ assistant David Vanterpool performed the defensive play and turnover of the night.

As Kyle Kuzma was on the verge of receiving a pass to make a 3-pointer, Vanterpool extended his arm out and deflected the ball away. What’s worse, is the ball fell to Brooklyn, who effected a turnover after blindsiding the referee.

After the game, ‘Kuz’ had some rather stinging words against Harden and co. “That was also horsesh*t,” dished out the 26-year-old. “Coaches should not be able to stand up. I get it if it’s under 2 minutes. Everybody in the lеague stands up. But there was like 3:50 on the clock, yоu’re standing up & yоu got Steve Nash blocking the ref’s view. Can’t see ѕhit.”

Was David Vanterpool’s action a clear sign of cheating? It turned out to be very unfortunate, as the Wizards lost the match by a solitary point. The two sides will square off again on February 10th.
