Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns left everyone, even LeBron James, picking their jaws off the floor. His game-winning shot against the Chicago Bulls? Poetry in motion. Suns’ center Jusuf Nurkic barely managed to get the ball to Durant and all it took him was a dribble to get to his spot and it was over for the Bulls.

KD left his defenders in the dust almost immediately as he received the ball and slid to his left, but Alex Caruso was quick to recover when he pulled up. Alas, Caruso couldn’t anticipate the legendary mid-air maneuver Durant had planned to pull off, as he sank the dagger from 17 feet to win the game 115-113. This was beside a season-best 43-point performance.

Kevin Durant chose to credit his teammates for his back-to-back 40 point-performances:

Everything factors in, my teammates looking for me. In the fourth quarter, I felt like they were passing the ball every time down and I tried to make something happen. Good screens. Drew Eubanks was incredible tonight. My teammates are the reason I can do stuff like this.

KD didn’t forget a shout-out for young star Drew Eubanks, who made all four of his attempted field goals, scoring 10 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and making 4 assists. He came off the bench, playing a little over 22 minutes, and had the highest +/- of the game.

The Chicago Bulls started strong, leading 37-22 after the first quarter, and even up by 23 at a point. But stopping KD? No chance. Coby White and DeMar DeRozan did their best for the Bulls, but the night belonged to Durant. He flipped the game on its head for the Suns, making six threes in the fourth quarter alone.

Even the King bows to the Slim Reaper’s glory:

That game-winner from Durant? It’s a shining example of his skill and mental strength. Known for lighting up the scoreboard, he’s proven time and again why he’s among the best. This performance just adds more luster to his reputation as one of the most clutch players in the NBA today.
