On March 14, Beijing time, Nets superstar Kevin Durant scored 53 points against the Knicks and led the Nets to an 110-107 victory.
Statistically, Durant, who played 43 minutes, scored 53 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds on 19-of-37 shooting, in addition to a team-high +11 plus-minus performance. 53 points per game is already Durant's second-highest career scoring performance, and the third highest single-game score in Nets history. Not only that, but it was also the highest single-game scoring performance in the Nets' history against the Knicks.
After playing at this level of statistic performance, Durant was also praised by former teammate And currently NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins:
"If Kevin Durant wants to, he can lead the league in scoring stats every year," Kendrick Perkins said.
From the perspective of personal scoring ability, Kevin Durant definitely still has the top data performance in any game, of course, Durant now also plays more roles on the court, whether in the organization or defensive end, the Nets need Durant to perform on the court.
Not only former teammates, but also Andre Drummond, who currently plays for the Nets, also praised Kevin Durant's performance after the game:
"He's the best player in the world," Drummond said.
After being sent to visit by the 76ers, Drummond has actually been able to play quite well, at least against the Knicks, Drummond can get 18 points and 10 rebounds.
For Durant, he has been in very good form so far this season, but if Durant is going to lead the Nets to the championship trophy, he still needs to stay healthy and wait for Irving's full-time appearance and Ben Simmons' healthy comeback.
