Kevin Durant is a bad, bad man. There really isn’t much else to say. The league’s leading scorer did what James Harden couldn’t do a few nights ago in Houston — lead the shorthanded Brooklyn Nets to a win over an inferior opponent.
The Nets would be without the services of Harden (rest) and Paul Millsap who was out due to personal reasons. This mattered not to Durant as he put on a scoring clinic the likes of which have only been done 10 times in franchise history. After going the first five minutes of the game scoreless, Durant would quickly heat up scoring 11 points over the next four minutes of action.
