Let’s be honest, Kevin Durant could be the Player of the Week for the Brooklyn Nets every single week. He is one of the early favorites to win MVP and he is the No. 1 reason why the Nets aren’t just afloat in the Eastern Conference, they are in first place. Durant is the constant.
Even if Durant wasn’t perfect this week, he was still remarkable. Take Tuesday’s game against the New York Knicks for example. Durant scored 27 points, but he was 9-for-23 from the floor and 0-for-5 from deep.
But his 21 points in the second half were crucial in sealing up the win against Brooklyn’s crosstown rival.
