Usual suspects Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant led the Nets, combining for 52 points, with Irving scoring 27 and Durant 25. They both did so without having to play for more than 30 minutes.

After a rough start to the season, the Nets seem to have found a winning formula. Coach Steve Nash was let go in November, and Irving was suspended for a few games for his social media posts, per ESPN.

Mbappe speech to Nets players

Mbappe and Hakimi exchanged pleasantries with Nets players before and after the game. Mbappe's 2022 World Cup hat-trick was shown on the big screen inside the Barclays Center.

After the buzzer rang, Durant walked over to Mbappe and handed over his game-worn jersey, per SI.

Mbappe is fresh-off a frustrating World Cup where they lost to Argentina on penalties. A win would have given Mbappe his second World Cup trophy. Hakimi and Morocco produced one of the greatest World Cup stories ever.

They reached the semi-finals which was a milestone for the African continent.
