They got halfway there, with Kevin Durant suiting up against Oklahoma City but Kyrie Irving sitting out against the Thunder. Sources told The Post that the All-Star guard’s absence had been related to Wednesday’s riot at the Capitol by supporters of President Trump. In Durant’s three-game absence, LeVert averaged 29.7 points and seven assists, shooting 50 percent and 47.4 percent from deep. "We’ve been playing — at least these last couple games — more competitively I think, just bringing out good energy. … I think we’re going to carry this momentum, and obviously it’s going to help a lot when we get Ky back and Kevin back."
