Kevin Durant hit just 5-of-21 shots, was 0-for-4 from downtown and 11-of-15 from the line to finish with 21 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and seven turnovers in Wednesday's Game 5 elimination loss to the Grizzlies.
This was KD's worst shooting night of the season, as he went 1-on-5 all night against a tough Grizzlies' defense. Durant got himself wide open for a potential game-tying shot at the end, but wasn't even close with the attempt. Scott Brooks will catch a lot of heat for his poor game plan (Durant vs. the Grizzlies), but this would have likely been a much different series had Russell Westbrook not blown out his knee. Serge Ibaka had 17 points, eight boards and three blocks in the loss, while Reggie Jackson had 16 points, nine boards, five assists and a huge 3-pointer in the loss. May 16 - 12:45 AM

Kevin Durant is struggling in the fourth quarter and overtime over the last two games, shooting just 3-of-17 from the field.

Durant is being asked to do everything and he's looking like a player who runs out of gas at the finish line over the last couple of contests. Without Russell Westbrook, Durant will continue to shoulder a heavy load for the Thunder, and the only way the team will keep their season alive is if someone (anyone) can consistently assist Durant on the offensive end.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points on 10-of-27 shooting during Game 4's loss in Memphis, adding seven boards, seven assists, one steal, one block and five 3-pointers in 48 minutes.

Durant hit a big shot with six seconds left to get the game to overtime, but the Thunder totally ran out of gas in the extra frame. OKC played a solid game and actually won the battle on the glass and limited Memphis to 40.4 percent shooting. Serge Ibaka had a great game, scoring 17 points with 14 boards, one assist, three blocks and one 3-pointer.

Kevin Durant said he "can do a lot more" when asked about his play in the second round.

Durant is doing everything for the Thunder, but he's demanding more from himself. "It's always things you can do more. I talk to one of my good friends and he said no matter how good you're playing you can always do more," he said. Durant has been electric vs. the Grizzlies and is leading his team in points, rebounds, assists and steals in the postseason, but he can't do it all on his own.

Kevin Durant hit 11-of-21 shots, 11-of-12 free throws and three 3-pointers on his way to 36 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists, a steal and a block, just missing a triple-double in Tuesday's Game 2 home loss to the Grizzlies.

The series is now tied 1-1 and the Thunder will head to Memphis on Saturday as they'll try to reclaim home-court advantage. Durant, as usual, didn't get much help in this one, although Derek Fisher exploded for 19 points and four 3-pointers, Serge Ibaka had 11 points, five boards and three blocks, and Reggie Jackson, filling in for Russell Westbrook, added 10 points, five rebounds and two assists in the 99-93 loss. The Thunder were outscored 30-19 in the fourth quarter, as Durant simply couldn't get many open looks late thanks to the defense of Tony Allen and company.

Kevin Durant was a one-man wrecking crew in Sunday's 93-91 win over the Grizzlies with 35 points, 15 boards, six assist, one steal and two blocks in 44 minutes.

KD scored 12 of his points in the final eight minutes of the game and he put the team on his back. "I just gotta get it," Durant said in the post-game interview on ABC and he's right. His shots per game have jumped up to 23.6 attempts per game since Russell Westbrook went down, which is well above his regular-season average of 17.7 per game. He's going to be busy against Memphis' tough defense in this series.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points on 11-of-23 shooting with eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block as the Thunder eliminated the Rockets in Game 6 on Friday.

It took them long enough. Even without Russell Westbrook they have the second best player in the NBA in Durant and a Defensive Player of the Year candidate in Serge Ibaka, but rigid and misguided coaching from Scott Brooks yet again made this a tight series. Ibaka hit just 4-of-13 shots for 10 points with seven boards and two blocks, while Reggie Jackson filled in admirably with 17 points, seven rebounds and eight assists. If there is a silver lining for Thunder fans -- Kendrick Perkins was benched and Nick Collison got on the floor.

Kevin Durant hit 11-of-23 shots and 1-of-8 free throws for 36 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block in Wednesday's 107-100 home loss to the Rockets.

The Thunder are still in control of this series with a 3-2 lead, but didn't look good tonight. Outside of Durant, and a late explosion from Reggie Jackson, the Thunder looked lost for most of the night, and the OKC crowd never really got into the game. Jackson had 20 points, four boards, three assists, two blocks and two 3-pointers, but these were the only two players to really step up for a Thunder team that didn't look engaged for most of the night.

Kevin Durant confirmed that his wirst is fine.

"I'm good," he said. We didn't have Durant on the injury report because we thought it was such a minor concern, and he was never in danger of missing a chance to close out the first round in five games against Houston. Expect another big night for KD.

Kevin Durant scored 38 points on 12-of-16 shooting to go with eight boards, six assists, one steal and one 3-pointer during Monday's Game 4 loss in Houston.

Durant's 38 points on 16 field goal attempts is remarkable and he's one of the most efficient players ever. This year he shot 51.0 percent from the field, 41.6 percent from 3-point land and 90.5 percent from the line to join Steve Nash, Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Jose Calderon and Dirk Nowitzki as the only players in the 50-40-90 club. Durant and the Thunder will try again to close out the Rockets on Wednesday.

Scott Brooks says he'll rest Kevin Durant more in Game 4.

Durant played all but 45 seconds of Saturday's Game 3, registering 41 points, 14 boards, four assists, two steals, one block and four 3-pointers in 47 minutes. The Thunder asked Durant to play point forward with Russell Westbrook (knee) sidelined, which means Durant should be putting up massive numbers across the board as long as the Thunder are still in the postseason.

Kevin Durant said he's having "fun" playing point forward without Russell Westbrook (knee) available.

"I think it's fun," he said. "I feel like I'm playing street ball again, just having the ball in my hands all the time, handling the ball, initiating the offense." Durant's playmaking skills have improved this season, and he'll have to channel his inner point forward if the Thunder are going to reach the Finals without their starting point guard.

Kevin Durant put the Thunder on his back in Saturday's 104-101 win over the Rockets with 41 points, 14 boards, four assists, two steals, one block and four 3-pointers in 47 minutes.

He shot 13-of-30 from the field and 11-of-13 from the line to put the Thunder up 3-0. Durant took just 17.7 shots per game during the regular season and if the Thunder are going to have success this postseason, KD is going to have to be counted on heavily just like tonight. He tied his career playoff high in points and his team will look to finish the series on Monday.

Kevin Durant won't make any promises when it comes to shooting more in the postseason.

Durant entered the regular season vowing to become a better playmaker, especially after James Harden was traded to Houston. Durant struggled with turnover issues (3.5 per game) and attempted 1,433 shots, his lowest total since his second season in the NBA. Durant also shot 51 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point range and averaged 4.6 assists per game, all of which were career highs. Despite the turnover issues, Durant's well-rounded game makes an even more dangerous fantasy option and he remains the No. 2 player in the game behind LeBron James.

Kevin Durant posted a note to his Instagram account saying he would be sitting out Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, meaning Carmelo Anthony will win the scoring title.

Durant would have had to score 70 points to win the crown, so now we just know a little earlier that Anthony will be at the top of the slag heap this season. Anthony was a man possessed to end the regular season and will look to roll that momentum into the postseason. It's not yet clear who will start for Durant for OKC on Wednesday. OKC will start Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Perry Jones III, Serge Ibaka and Hasheem Thabeet.
