Kevin Durant: Has Nets Star Aimed Jibe at Former Coach Steve Nash?

• Kevin Durant has seemingly aimed a jibe at former Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash
• Durant said the team has found its identity after registering their 10th win in a row
• The Nets have been impressive since Nash left the role and Jacque Vaughn took over

Kevin Durant has appeared to aim a subtle dig at former Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash, who was let go in November after a terrible start to the season.

Since Nash left the role, the Nets have been on a roll under Jacque Vaughn, who took the reins since then.

On Wednesday, the Nets recorded their 10th game in a row after beating the Atlanta Hawks 108-107, in a clash they trailed by as much as 15 at some point.

Durant and Kyrie Irving combined for 54 points and 21 rebounds, with the former registering a season-high of 16 reounds. The two superstars also combined for 16 assists.

Durant on Nets' incredible form

Speaking after beating the Hawks in an entertaining game, Durant said the team now has an identity, possibly a dig at former coach Nash, per ESPN.

"I felt like we didn't have an identity to start the season, and then we started to figure it out these last few weeks; this last month or so."

Before Durant and Irving had their debut season together, they claimed they didn't need a coach, which was odd coming from the two veterans.

Durant added now the team believes in what Jacque tells them.

"Just knowing what we want to do every time we step on the floor keeps our mind at ease, and we'll have that belief in whatever Jacque tells us."

Durant reacts after new milestone

Sports Brief earlier reported on Durant reacting to passing Tim Duncan on the NBA scoring list, to jump to 15th place.

Duncan scored 26,496 points over the course of his illustrious career, but Durant's 32 saw his figure jump to 26,516. He is averaging 30 points per game this season as he looks to bring the championship to Brooklyn.

Durant is a four-time NBA scoring champion and one of the most prolific scorers of all time. At 34 years old, he still appears to be at the peak of his powers.
