Kevin Durant is the best player on the planet, and the four-time NBA scoring champion did nothing Wednesday night in front of 14,000 fans inside the Amway Center to put that claim in any kind of doubt.
The 11-time All-Star scored 30 points in 29 minutes of action to help lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 123-90 victory of the hapless Orlando Magic. Durant only missed one attempt from the floor all evening (11-12 FGA’s, 2-2 3PTA’s, 6-7 FTA’s).
The Magic made just 4 of their 23 three-point field goal attempts Wednesday night (12.1%), shooting 38 percent from the floor overall in the contest.
