KEVIN DURANT STUNS NBA WORLD WITH HISTORIC PERFORMANCE IN GAME 5
His hypothetical was widely panned.
Brooklyn will be looking to close out the series on the road Thursday night. Durant recorded a triple-double with 49 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists Tuesday to give the Nets the slight 3-2 advantage in the series.
According to the Nets, Durant was the first player in NBA history to score 45 or more points, grab at least 15 rebounds and dish out at least 10 assists. Durant also became the fourth player in NBA history to have scored at least 40 points, grabbed at least 15 rebounds and dish out at least 10 assists. He joined Luka Doncic, Charles Barkley and Oscar Robertson as the only players to accomplish the feat.
The Nets have not made it past the conference semifinals since 2003.
