“Hold this L!”: Kevin Durant was exasperated by a Warriors fans and reporter’s analysis of his 51-point outing against the Detroit Pistons

"Kevin Durant is the MVP": Skip Bayless and Kendrick Perkins heap praises of the four-time scoring champion in light of an OT win against the Raptors, despite having 8 of the Nets players in the health and safety protocols 

Kevin Durant trolls a poor reporter on Twitter after putting up a show of the season against the Detroit Pistons.

Kevin Durant broke two scoring records Sunday night, as the Brooklyn Nets visited the Detroit Pistons. One, set by his current teammate Blake Griffin, for the most points by any player in Little Caesars Arena (50). The other one is the most points by a player this season (also 50).

Durant had the scoring burden of the resting James Harden and injured Paul Millsap. And man, could he have enjoyed this burden any better?

The Slim Reaper was simply unstoppable, he finished with 51 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 dimes, and 2 blocks. The Nets won the game in quite a comprehensive fashion with a scoreboard of 116-104.

After the game, KD himself criticized Pistons’ approach of guarding him but then hilariously trolled a reporter on Twitter for doing the same.

In the post-game interview, KD talked about how he had a bigger responsibility of scoring in the absence of James Harden and Paul Millsap. He also critiqued Detroit’s approach in guarding him.

After the game, a reporter of Kron4 News tweeted out a similar criticism of Detroit’s defense.

You put a #DubNation in a tweet that’s praising KD, you are calling for trouble. KD’s fan army made her regret it soon enough.

Mills had to do something when things were going out of hands, she did, but little did it matter. KD stans were still on to her.

She even tried to clarify her point that she was just criticizing Pistons’ defense on the last play.

The 11-time All-Star took to Twitter but did not support the poor lady who was saying the same thing he said post-game. He instead gave her an “L”. Typical KD.

Yikes! That was unnecessarily brutal.
