The Brooklyn Nets (14-31) were playing the second night of a back-to-back following a tough, physical game against the New York Knicks on Tuesday so they were bound to be hit with some players not being able to go.

Kevin Durant scored 24 points in three quarters against his former team Wednesday night and the Phoenix Suns ended a five-game road trip with a wire-to-wire 108-84 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in New York.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 54 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Utah Jazz, 123-114, on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila). Gilgeous-Alexander made 17 of 35 field goals and 17 of 18 free throws to surpass his previous career best of 45 points.
