Kevin Durant crowned Player of the Week amid Suns' streak

On Monday, the NBA announced that Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant was named the Western Conference Player of the Week for Week 22 of the season, covering March 17 to 23.

Durant, a two-time NBA champion and 15-time All-Star, led Phoenix to a 3-0 week, with wins against the Toronto Raptors on March 18, the Chicago Bulls on March 21 and the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on March 23.

During the week, Durant averaged 27.3 points, 6.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 58.8% from the field and 47.1% from 3-point range.

Durant had a 38-point performance in Monday's 108-106 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, extending the Suns' winning streak to four games.

The Suns have won six of their last 10 games and are tied with the Dallas Mavericks for the 10th and final play-in spot in the Western Conference with a 35-37 record. They are just half a game behind the ninth-place Sacramento Kings (35-36).

Nine of Phoenix's remaining 10 games will be against teams in postseason contention. The Suns begin their crucial stretch Wednesday, when they host the defending champion Boston Celtics.
