Comes up short in second half Durant closed with 30 points (8-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-13 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to the Nuggets. Impact On paper, Durant had another strong showing with his 11th 30-point performance of the campaign. However, the star forward -- and one of the greatest scorers the NBA has ever seen -- didn't make a single field goal in the second half, and failed to convert several good looks in the forth quarter when the Suns were pushing for a comeback. Durant is not expected to be fazed by one rough stretch, however, and fantasy managers should trust him to bounce back against a struggling Grizzlies team on Saturday.
