Kevin Durant and James Harden combined for 59 points as the two NBA stars helped the Nets break their 10-game losing streak in Canada, improving their record to 7-3 on the season.
James Harden narrowly missed out on his second straight triple-double finishing with 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as he took over the game with four minutes left in the fourth quarter, transforming a seven-point lead into a double-digit one, earning plaudits from Durant afterwards.
