The last time Kevin Durant lost to the Knicks, he was wearing the Thunder jersey. That was in April 2013. Since then, the winger has had a string of successes against New York, with his 13th straight last night…
From the start of the game, Kevin Durant got his hands on the game, shooting over Cam Reddish or manipulating the (weak) Knicks defense to serve his teammates, in particular Edmond Sumner.
With 29 points (10/19), 12 assists, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, he signs a super complete performance, at the hub of his team. It’s the 17th triple-double of his career, the second in a row against the Knicks, a team against which he averages 29.5 career points. Only Michael Jordan and Jerry West have done better.
It is in any case the third victory in four games for Brooklyn, more united than ever behind its leader.
“I’m just trying to do my job” concludes Kevin Durant on how he remains productive despite the backlash. “I adopted this mentality 10 or 11 years ago, when I worked with Brian Keefe (assisting Thunder and now the Nets). Coming to work every day, no matter what, focusing on being the best I can be, getting the best out of myself every day. I try to keep that approach no matter what’s going on around, doing my best to make an impact. » Mission successful.
