Kevin Durant has been nothing short of sensational at the start of the season. After having a brilliant game against the Pelicans where he scored 24 points, Durant had another monster night and scored 33 points to help the Warriors beat the Timberwolves at home.

Durant started the game with a layup, after slithering in past the defenders. In the first quarter, with 7:25 remaining, he knocked down an open 3-pointer to extend the Warriors' early lead to 11.

The highlight of the night came when he went to the rim at high speed and jammed it home, thoroughly entertaining the crowd. He finished the night shooting 11-of-19 from the field, with a field-goal percentage of 57.9. He was also efficient from a distance and went 3-of-5 from beyond the arc.

Durant was +17 in the game and also pulled down 13 boards. The T-Wolves' defenders had no answers as he kept attacking the rim very aggressively. He went 8-9 from the free-throw line.
