In his most explosive game with the Brooklyn Nets, Kevin Durant scored the most points in a game in the NBA this season, going off for 51 points in a 116-104 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena.
With James Harden resting for the first time this season, Durant joined Golden State's Stephen Curry as the only players with a 50-point game this season.
Durant made 16 of 31 shots from the field, including five 3-pointers, and had nine assists, seven rebounds and two blocked shots to overwhelm the Pistons, who lost for the 12th straight time.
