Detroit — Kevin Durant felt the momentum shift in the waning seconds of the third quarter.
On three consecutive trips down the floor, the Brooklyn Nets star walked into three 3-pointers to give his team the edge while Kyrie Irving celebrated on the bench due to foul trouble.
It was his most crucial moment of the Pistons' 124-121 loss to the Nets on Sunday because it was the moment Durant decided to take over. He scored 26 of his game-high 43 points in the third quarter after his team trailed by as many as 19 points late in the second quarter.
