Kevin Durant is one of the best shooters in the history of the NBA. Now a 13 year NBA veteran, KD has maintained his top-notch basketball every season. KD surely comes under the very few elite players to grace the basketball court. This season also he has outshone from expectations and is having his best season since his 2013-14 season.

On Saturday night, KD showed his class once again. He hit his career high 55 points with 8 three pointers but it was in vain. The Brooklyn Nets are in quite a pickle and it would be fair to say that it was a worrisome performance when, even after KD’s 55, they could not manage to win.

The Atlanta Hawks won despite KD’s inspired performance. Trea Young’s side worked as a team. Although only Young had 36 points, each, and every player scored enough points to grab a win. Whereas only KD and Kyrie Irving performed for the Nets with Kyrie hitting 31. To be fair to the Nets, the credit has to go to the Hawks that they managed a victory even after excellent performances from both star players of Brooklyn. The fans were in support of KD after the Nets fell short despite his best efforts.
