"We don't want to overreact after the game right now... Kevins' Kevin Durant for a reason" - Steve Nash on KD not getting good looks in Game 1 against Boston

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets lost game one to the Boston Celtics, with KD performing below expectations, but head coach Steve Nash has faith in his superstar forward to bounce back.

Durant let his teammates down in game one, but his coach thinks he will be better in game two.

While the Brooklyn Nets can point to various issues that led to their loss in game one to the Boston Celtics, Kevin Durant is assuming the majority of the blame.

Durant finished with the worst shooting percentage on the team of players who attempted a shot and tied for the worst +/- rating. His twenty-three points were crucial to keeping his team in it, but his turnovers and inefficiency hurt.

Still, Nets coach Steve Nash believes his superstar forward will return to normal in the second game of the series. Coach Steve Nash spoke about Durant during his post-game press conference.

"We don't want to overreact after the game right now. We gotta watch it; see what we think. Kevins' Kevin Durant for a reason. He figures things out on his own very, very well."

Durant is one of the most experienced and successful players in the NBA and the NBA playoffs, so coach Steve Nash has good reason to trust his ability to bounce back.
