TORONTO -- Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant scored 51 points in Thursday's 131-128 overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors, marking the first time in his storied career that he scored 40 or more points in three consecutive games.
Durant finished the night 18-for-31 from the field, four-for-seven from beyond the arc and 11-for-12 from the free throw line. He added 11 rebounds and six assists to go along with his 51 points.
Durant was on point throughout the night but it was down the stretch where he shined the most, knocking down a turnaround three-pointer in the corner over Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard that left a sellout crowd in Scotiabank Arena in stunned awe and sent the game into overtime.
