HOUSTON — Kevin Durant is on a tear right now. An all-time tear. The kind of tear that makes people re-calibrate their thoughts on who the best player in the NBA is.
Since he decided it was important to remind people that he’s Kevin Durant ahead of Game 3 of the Warriors’ first-round series, the Slim Reaper has averaged a stupefying 39 points, five rebounds, five assists, a steal, and a block per game on 51/44/91 shooting.
In that seven-game stretch, Durant has posted a 50, 46, and 45-point games.
The Warriors have lost two of those games.
