THE OKLHOMA CITY Thunder lost for the first time in 13 games last Thursday, but that didn’t stop Kevin Durant from putting on a show.
Durant scored 33 points on 12-of-21 shooting, including one of the most ridiculous layups you’ll ever see midway through the third quarter with the Thunder trailing 68-56. On the play, he made Andrei Kirilenko stumble off the dribble before barreling through Luke Ridnour and Nikolai Pekovic and tossing up a prayer that rode the top of the backboard and dropped through the net.
Durant added six assists and seven rebounds, but it wasn’t enough as the Thunder fell 99-93 to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
