DETROIT — Nets stars Kevin Durant (43 points) and Kyrie Irving (38 points) became the first teammates to each top 35 in the same game three times in a season since Durant and Russell Westbrook did so for Oklahoma City in 2011-12.

Penny Hardaway and Shaquille O’Neal in 1994-95 are the only other pair to do it in the last 30 years.

“That level offensively when we’re just clicking on all cylinders and the guys aren’t making shots but doing all the little things, it feels good,” Irving said Sunday after the Nets’ 124-121 win over the Pistons. “The team morale is good and there’s a level of poise where we’re learning about one another when were down 17, down 19. We don’t want to be in these holes, but it’s a challenge for us to beat this team.”

The Nets had trailed by 19 in the second quarter Sunday, and had trailed by 18 in Toronto on Friday. They’re the two biggest comeback wins of the season for the Nets.

It was sealed when Nic Claxton — who struggled mightily on defense in the first half — rotated over to block Bojan Bogdanovic on a potential tying 3-pointer in the waning seconds. It was his third block of the night.

The Nets earned their season-high sixth straight win, the second-longest active win streak. It extended their season-best road win streak to four games, and gave them a franchise-record seventh in a row versus Detroit.

Durant has now scored 26,437 career points. He moved past John Havlicek (26,395) and Paul Pierce (26,397) into 16th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Next up is Tim Duncan (26,496).

Patty Mills, who has missed the last three games with a non-COVID illness, is expected back when the Nets return to Brooklyn. David Duke Jr., Kessler Edwards, Day’Ron Sharpe and Alondes Williams were all on G-League assignment with Long Island.

Brooklyn GM Sean Marks wasn’t in Detroit. The Nets had a contingent in Las Vegas for the G-League Showcase.
