KD put up a 39 pt game on an off-night. That's why kids you have to practice your free throws.
Loveyou KD ❤
Durant went off!
KD is too much 💪💪💪💪😁😁😁
A KD 50 piece is loading
On a terrible night he still had an impact and protected the basketball thats the difference 39/9/8 and played defense
DB went off for 47 way more exciting
❤❤❤❤❤
If KD takes this amount of shots again in game 4 he gon get 50 neva seen a scorer have a off night and still get almost 40
Chris Paul being out may be a blessing in disguise.
That kd cod bundle dropped so KD gotta go in now to justify being an operator🤣🤣
K BOMB Durant
Shooting efficiency been horrible . Denver built diff but I still say suns in 7
half of the points was at the ft line there was 2 blocks and a steel that refs bailed him out Aaron Gordon looked his as* for the 3rd straight game
IMO the team does well when Payne is at the 1 spot or filling in for CP3 atm … speeds up the tempo for them
💙
The final mid range shot that he made was the dagger 🗡️
-CP3 +Win
Alright now Denver😒
"Kevin Durant GOES OFF" dude was 12-31 fg…
Suns playing cmon get to the dam finals yall got like 3 all stars big 3
1:10 referee with the assist
KD got carried by Booker. He bricked every shot, the game plan of driving to the basket and getting fouls saved him because KDs regular game failed. Boxscore watchers who dont watch games will never understand that.
Crazy I prefer cam Payne than cp3
They been doubling and triple teaming all playoffs . He shot bad . But it won’t happen again y’all know he can get 35 off 15 shots
