As quoted by Antara, Sunday, March 27, this record was the fourth consecutive defeat suffered by the Heat and those who now have a record of winning and losing 47-28 must be willing to surrender the top position of the East to the Philadelphia 76ers (46-27) who just played their last game this week. on Sunday local (Monday WIB) by hosting the Milwaukee Bucks (46-28).

For the Nets (39-35) this result brought them back to winning ways and won seven of the last nine appearances. The Nets who are in eighth position East continue to pave their way to the playoffs via at least a play-in tournament.

Kevin Durant supported the Nets' victory with 23 points, followed by Seth Curry who scored 17 points and Andre Drummond contributed a double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Kyrie Irving added 11 points in his final game before making his home debut for the Nets this season after the Mayor of New York officially lifted the vaccine mandate for the private sector.

Bam Adebayo was the hosts' top scorer with 14 points as Tyler Herro and Max Strus both scored 13 points off the bench, while Kyle Lowry had 12.

Jimmy Butler, whose two previous matches had been in an argument with head coach Erik Spoelstra and Heat senior Udonis Haslem appeared so poor, only able to convert two of his nine open attempts and ended with just seven points.

Except in the first quarter and the start of the second, the Heat almost failed to provide any resistance to the Nets, who appeared so dominant that they even had a 37-point lead at 94-57 when Curry scored the triple with four minutes and two seconds of the third quarter remaining.

The Nets still have one game left this week by hosting the Charlotte Hornets, which will be Irving's home game debut this season, on Sunday local time (Monday WIB), while the Heat will try to move on from a bad week and start a new week against the Sacramento Kings a day later.
