Once the second half arrived, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden went from way off to off and running. Durant had 32 points and 12 rebounds, Irving scored 29 points and the Nets recovered from their superstars’ frigid start to beat the Celtics 104-93 on Saturday night. “It just threw me off a little bit, but second half we got more comfortable and the shots started falling,” he said. The Celtics managed just 40 points in the second half and shot 37% for the game. Nets: Irving, who spent two seasons with the Celtics, wore green sneakers.
