Kevin Durant had one of the best playoff performances you’ll ever see on Tuesday night as his 49 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists helped lead the Nets to 114-108 victory over the Bucks and gave Brooklyn a 3-2 series lead.
Durant played all 48 minutes, which was incredible. And his stat line was historic as he became the first player in playoff history with 45 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in a game. He did it without an injured Kyrie Irving in the lineup but with a limited James Harden who returned from his hamstring injury.
Durant was simply amazing, especially down the stretch. LeBron James and NBA fans were rightfully in awe of his performance and so was KD’s coach, Steve Nash.
The two shared this great hug after the final whistle:
And it quickly became a meme:
