Durant Scores Career-High 52

Last nights overtime victory over the Mavericks (117-114) just goes to show that even on Durant's off games, he is still unbelievable. Durant was a dismal 13-31 from the floor but still scores 52, because he's KD. 

A huge chunk of Durant's points came from superb shooting from the free-throw line going 21-21. It was only the fifth game in his career that he took at least 30 shots. 

"Down the stretch my teammates just kept telling me to be aggressive," said Durant. "They gave me confidence and I was able to hit a couple shots to give us the edge tonight." 

When asked by an ESPN reporter if he knew he had scored 52, Durant replied, "Yea, yea i knew."

Russel Westbrook proved yet again that he is maturing and filling his role down the stretch of games. He unselfishly handed the ball off to Durant time after time in both the 4th quarter and overtime period. Westbrook also contributed 31 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. 

The Westbrook-Durant duo combined for 83 of the Thunder's 117 points, adding more proof to why they are the most dynamic duo in the league. 

Last night's victory kicked off the start to a six game road stretch for the Thunder. They travel to Denver on Sunday to play the Nuggets and then head to Los Angeles to play the red-hot Clippers on Tuesday.
