Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant made more history in the Nets’ 124-121 comeback win on Sunday over the Detroit Pistons. When Durant had a 19-foot mid-range jumper over Bojan Bogdanovic, Durant propelled himself past Boston Celtics greats John Havlicek and Paul Pierce for 16th in NBA history in points.
Durant didn’t settle for that as he went on to score 43 points in the game, including 26 points in the third quarter, to help Brooklyn squeak out a win over the lowly Pistons. In addition to achieving his points milestone, Durant helped the Nets achieve a season-high six-game winning streak as well as winning 10 of their past 11 games.
Durant will go down as one of the greatest players to have ever dribbled a basketball, but it is still impressive to see Durant have performances like he did against the Pistons. Even though he has been a model of consistency this season, Durant reminded fans and pundits alike that he can still dominate the game when the moment is right.
Brooklyn’s next game is Wednesday as they host the Golden State Warriors.
