Kevin Durant was getting buckets for fun in the 2013-14 season. He went on to win the prestigious MVP trophy for his exploits that year. After totaling 36 points and beating the Houston Rockets on the road, Kevin erupted for 54 points against his current team, on the second of a back-to-back.

He was red-hot and went for 19-28 from the field with a field-goal percentage of 67.9. Durant also caught fire from the three-point line and went for 5-9 with an eye-catching 3-point field-goal percentage of 55.6.

The Golden State Warriors defenders could not stop him as he kept attacking the rim with ruthless aggression. He went 11-13 from the free-throw line and although Curry and Thompson had a brilliant game for the Warriors, Durant was way too much to handle and the Oklahoma City Thunder won the game, 127-121.
