Durant finished with 26 points (10-30 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 46 huge minutes during Monday’s Game 1 win.

While converting on just a third of his shots and struggling mightily in the fourth quarter, Durant more than made up for it with solid all-around play and some late-game heroics. He was an absolute force for three quarters, but missed eight consecutive shots before nailing a clutch jumper with 31 seconds remaining. The former MVP is now averaging 27.3 points this postseason, and an impressive 30.2 on the road. Expect him to play heavy minutes in every remaining postseason contest as the Thunder grind towards the Finals.
