WASHINGTON, D.C. – Whenever he held the ball, it seemed inevitable Warriors forward Kevin Durant would complete a highlight reel.
On one play, Durant and Stephen Curry ran a fast-break that finished with Curry throwing a lob and Durant throwing down a one-handed dunk. On another, Durant stole the ball and a threw a lob seemingly out of reach only for Warriors forward Draymond Green to reach and convert on the layin. Durant performed two crossovers before pull-up up for a vintage 20-foot jumper.
It likely surprises no one that Durant performed this way in the Warriors’ 109-101 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
