KD was on a different level altogether, scoring 37 points, grabbing 9 rebounds, and dishing 8 assists.

Durant put up these numbers while shooting 15-23(65.1%) from the floor. The Nets took a 21-point lead in the second half, which was cut down to 7 points, thanks to Donovan Mitchell‘s 30 points, but the Nets managed to hold on. Brooklyn secured a 114-106 win over the Jazz. After losing 4 in a row, the Nets have now won 4 in a row, and are back in the 8th spot in the East. They sit half a game ahead of the 9th seeded Hornets.

Kevin Durant hit Royce O’Neal with the ‘you’re too tiny’

Kevin Durant has been sensational since his return from injury. The Nets’ superstar has been averaging 30.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 7.3 assists in the 9 games he’s been back. The Nets are looking dangerous yet again, and it is all thanks to Durant.

Last Sunday, the Nets took on the Knicks, and Durant scored over Evan Fournier en route his 53. He hit Fournier with the ‘you’re too small’ back then. Tonight, he did the same, but on Royce O’Neal.

If KD can keep playing like this, the Nets are bound to cause some major upsets come playoff time.
