The New York side went from struggling at the beginning of the season to being positioned second in their Conference.

Kevin Durant opens up about the Nets’ struggles this season

KD hasn?t stepped off the gas through all the difficulties that his team has faced in the season. But currently, the team is also doing its part with amazing performances all around. In a recent interview with ESPN, KD decided to be honest about questions on how the team kept themselves from ?exploding?.

?Because we was together regardless.? said the 12-time NBA All-star. He further added, ?I think coming into the training camp, we understood that it’s going to be a lot on us from a media standpoint, from just the noise in general around our team, so I think that made us tighter once camp started. So we was able to take the Kyrie stuff and move in stride. Because we were already stuck together before that.?

The two-time NBA Champion further mentioned how once they started to win games they were gliding through the league. Kyrie Irving has thrown his controversies in the trash can, rising up to his standards in all the games he has played.
