Submits virtuoso performance in win Durant registered a season-high and franchise-record 53 points (19-37 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 11-12 FT) to go with nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in 43 minutes Sunday in the Nets'... Impact Durant turned in one of the best games from any player this season both in fantasy and real-life terms, as he achieved his scoring production on elite shooting from the field and free-throw line and even delivered in the peripheral categories. Even with co-star Kyrie Irving (ineligible) out of the lineup and unable to occupy some of the defense's attention, Durant still couldn't be stopped, especially late in the game. He drilled a tie-breaking three-pointer with 56 seconds remaining and calmly knocked down all four of his free-throw attempts in the final minute of the contest to finish one point away from matching a career-high total.
