If Tuesday’s big game between the Nets and Warriors needed any more allure, the NBA supplied it Monday, naming Kevin Durant and Steph Curry as the Players of the Week for the Eastern and Western Conference.
Re: Kevin Durant, the NBA press release noted ...
The 11-time All-Star led the Nets to a 3-1 week with averages of 32.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists. He scored 30 or more points in three of those four games, including a 38-point performance against the Bulls in a 118-95 loss. He finished out the week with a 33-point showing in a blowout win against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Sunday.
