Durant: Nets will 'keep building' after big three reunited in Bulls win

Kevin Durant says the Brooklyn Nets are just going to keep building after their big three played together for the first time since February 13 in Saturday's 105-91 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Durant along with Kyrie Irving and James Harden finally hit the court together following a series of injuries, with the NBA playoffs around the corner.

It was only the eighth time the trio have played together since Harden joined the team in January, with Brooklyn improving to a 6-2 record with all three in the side.

Prior to Saturday's game, Durant, Irving and Harden had only played 186 minutes together and while there was some rustiness, they all contributed.

Durant had 12 points, nine rebounds and six assists, while Irving added 22 points with Harden managing only five points, five rebounds and seven assists.

"It's been a long season full of ups and down when it comes to lineups, and having all our guys on the same page," Durant said post-game.

"It's good to get everybody healthy, it's good to get some minutes with everybody. We're going to keep building from here."

Nets coach Steve Nash added that cohesion among the trio would take time but he was happy with a step forward.

"It's not like 'what do I expect?' They've just got to be out there and feel each other, play together, and hopefully that little bit of time today will help move that process forward more quickly than not having that time today," Nash said.

"It wasn't a great game, we weren't very sharp, but we got the job done and we move on to tomorrow, one last game. We can hopefully have a good performance and be ready for the nice week of practice."

The 47-24 Nets, who are destined for the second spot in the East pending the Milwaukee Bucks' final two results, take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday in their final game ahead of the playoffs.

"Yeah we'll consider it," Nash said, when asked if he will play the big three again.

"It's just a matter of how they come through, how do they feel in the morning and are they available. But if we need that win tomorrow, we're not averse to those guys playing again tomorrow as well."
