 Welcome to Post Game Plus with Frank Isola, I'm Chris Sheeran, Kyrie Irving returns in the Nets defeat to Timberwolves 112-107, got a little dicey towards the end there Frank, but this is so powerful offensively as a team are the Nets that they were able to eat. Another triple-double for James Sarn, he was not happy with the way that he finished the game, he had four turnovers in that fourth quarter. Chris, the Nets had a 17 point lead in this game. They were outscored by seven over the last three quarters and Minnesota had a chance to take the lead in the final 20 seconds, so some things they still have to work on, but guess what? They do keep winning. Yeah, and they're getting Kevin Durant back at some point too. Kyrie had missed the last three games while dealing with a personal issue, but he jumped out of the gates quickly pouring in 15 first quarter points in route to 27. But the star of the night was James Harden who finished with 38 points in his 12th triple-double of the season, tying the Nets single-season franchise record. Despite his monster night, he still wasn't satisfied when he talked Post Game on the court with Michael and Sarah. Man, I got to be better, especially down the stretch. We turned the basketball all over a few times, which gave them opportunities to be able to score, so we got to do a better job, including myself. I'm at the playing guard of not turning the basketball all over, getting the quality shot, so we can have a good chance to guard defensively. What is the key to this team as far as managing expectations? Obviously, there's high hopes and expectations for this team, but what is the key in terms of managing the expectations and keeping the goal in mind? Consistency, every single night. We've got a target on our back, so we've got to be prepared. And the shoulder for record-wise isn't that great, but they gave us a fight, so we've got to prepare mentally and physically every single night to win games, no matter how they come. Tonight was one of those examples. I mean, any time an opposing team comes in here or are on the road, we feel like we're going to get their best shot despite their record. So I just feel like we couldn't get control of the pace of the game tonight. They were crashing offensive glass, doing the little things tonight, which kept them in the game. So a few mistakes on our end that I feel like we can clean up. I think we talked about in the locker room as a group. Just watch film tomorrow, see where we can get better. These games are coming quick, so we'll take the win and see where we can learn. And that's continued their homestand on Wednesday when they host the Rockets. Pre-game coverage starts at 7 p.m. for Frank Isola. I'm Prashir. Thanks for joining us on Nets Post Game Plus.
