00:00 Nirk with a rock, finds Duran, raising up for the win!
00:04 (crowd cheering)
00:06 - Wow!
00:07 - Got the lead, but there is 1.6.
00:09 - But you gotta take what you got,
00:11 and that was the best look he was gonna get.
00:13 He had to double pump that one as well.
00:16 - Fairness to Chomsky.
00:17 - KD, going the distance, ramming it home!
00:21 - Turn that over.
00:22 I want us to take a look at the emotion
00:26 as he's staring at his teammates in the bench.
00:30 It was like, it was almost like one of those mafia movies.
00:34 He doesn't give you a--
00:35 - Pitch and catch.
00:36 KD, down the lane!
00:39 Elevates and detonates at just the right time!
00:43 - I mean, but in his defense,
00:46 Nirk has did a tremendous job of not--
00:48 - Five to shoot.
00:50 Duran pulls, and hits KD!
00:57 - I mean, how many times have we seen this?
00:59 Kevin Duran in isolation, end of the game,
01:02 that little hang dribble with the left hand.
01:05 - KD with a dozen, working on Harden.
01:07 On the crossover, the euro.
01:11 Beautiful reverse, the first half.
01:14 - KD, the education.
01:15 - He puts the Lakers up by four.
01:19 15 seconds left, get it in for Duran.
01:21 Duran to the bucket, lays it home!
01:24 Two point game with 11.2 on the clock.
01:27 - Something they did not have against the LA Clippers,
01:30 who they meet tomorrow.
01:31 KD, right down Main Street.
01:33 - He went two hands on Jaron Jackson, and you need to.
01:37 If he's not in Indianapolis in the three point contest,
01:40 I'm telling you right now, I'm gonna create some issues.
01:44 - Zod's force of turnover, up ahead to KD with a rim run!
01:47 - Frank Bogo's just saying,
01:52 "Look, I'm gonna go with my quick lineup,
01:54 with KD at the center."
01:56 - Yambayama takes a swipe, clock ticks to two,
02:00 the shot clock, Duran up and over!
02:03 Yambayama, okay!
02:04 - Duran, reddish is there, step back, KD, good!
02:11 Oh, what a sweet stroke!
02:14 That was a beauty, 84-72 Phoenix,
02:19 30 points for Duran on 17 shots.
02:24 - This is NBA.
02:27 - Thompson, just driving past him,
02:30 threw an elbow into his chest,
02:31 didn't get caught with a foul,
02:32 up ahead with the Suns on a break.
02:34 - Duran, raising up and taking him!
02:37 (speaking in foreign language)
02:41 - Loose ball corralled by Akoge,
02:43 Suns leading by seven, under three and a half,
02:45 we go into first.
02:46 Duran raising up, and a random connection!
02:50 I don't know how he got that off!
02:52 - Russell in his hip pocket, easy money sniper.
02:55 - Didn't see him, all he saw was the net.
02:58 - And then, obviously,
03:01 keeps down the fatigue factor as well.
03:03 - Duran inside, and takes him to the boom room!
03:08 - That was really kind of nasty.
03:10 - Well, to JJ's point,
03:14 that's now the role that you see around the league.
03:16 You can't just be a scorer,
03:18 you can't just be a game manager of a point guard,
03:20 you have to have the ability to do both.
03:22 - Duran again!
03:24 - Piate on the hip of Duran, some help.
03:27 They go to Gordon, got by Martin,
03:29 and passes out to Duran.
03:31 Four to shoot, down to two, down to one, Duran!
03:34 (crowd cheering)
03:36 - That's just what he does.
03:37 - So the Suns chipping away here.
03:39 Phoenix shooting it at 52% from the field,
03:42 stop and goal, Duran's on a rack attack!
03:46 Not controlling.
03:48 - Oh, look at the hesitation right there on AD.
03:50 - Duran sees an opening on the drive inside,
03:55 and punches the ticket!
03:57 Loose ball gathered in by Okoge.
04:01 JD glides inside, giving the and one.
04:07 - Nice play.
04:15 (crowd cheering)
04:18 - JD gets the defender up, bucket in.
04:21 - Point play.
04:24 This is seems like in this direction.
04:27 - Duran turns the corner.
04:33 How about that?
04:34 That was Iceman-esque.
04:37 - Here comes LeBron,
04:39 they can tie with the three, Vincent will slash.
04:42 Rejected!
04:43 What snuffed inside by Duran.
04:46 - Goodness.
04:47 Listen, Kevin Durant might be unstoppable.
04:53 - Don't forget EJ.
04:55 - Look at this.
04:55 - Look at this, Kevin Durant gave him a highlight.
04:58 - Well, that's the second highlight he's had over Victor.
05:01 This is KD over Victor, right?
05:05 - Cut off, Nert, thought about the three point shot,
05:09 goes back to a cut to Duran!
05:11 Who brings the boom!
05:13 - Unselfishness can sometimes lead to something bigger.
05:18 - 23 now for Williams.
05:23 Goodwin has been so good off the bench
05:24 with his eight points, that sticky defense.
05:26 And one!
05:27 Chance at a four point play for Kevin Durant.
05:31 - Great young talent in the league,
05:36 and Durant with the step back, giving the and one.
05:40 - Big moment here late in this game.
05:43 Booker, out to Durant, Durant the runner is good!
05:48 KD with 30, and a big bucket there
05:53 against the fading shot clock.
05:54 - Marking it goes for the steal there,
05:57 I think that's the big play.
05:59 Don't need to gamble.
06:00 - He was on that finals MVP ballot,
06:02 he was an all-star that year,
06:03 so you hope that it's something
06:05 that he can just figure out and get his rhythm back,
06:07 but they beat him.
06:09 - Durant's ball, and he draws it, and he's got seven rebounds
06:14 as well.
06:15 Durant on the backdoor, gets to the baseline,
06:19 hammers it home.
06:20 - The Suns are shooting 71% and they're down by eight.
06:23 Durant in and out, Nerkic keeps it alive,
06:26 Brown able to get it, oh and a pass,
06:28 a hit to Caldwell, blocked by Durant.
06:31 Kevin Durant, sensational rejection.
06:34 - Been some defense play, a brilliant defensive play
06:37 from Kevin Durant.
06:39 - You're not looking to pass the ball, Mark.
06:41 - Be able to scoot past to Durant on the crossover.
06:46 - Field goal lead early for the Bavs.
06:54 Durant creates some space and knocks it down.
06:58 - There's no way to stop that.
07:00 - It's a get through we have,
07:01 and get back on the court sooner than later.
07:04 - Point has come out of that timeout running his zone
07:06 as Durant hits the brakes, takes the defender.
07:09 Beals showing his defensive prowess,
07:13 gets the steal, Suns with numbers.
07:15 KD brings the boom, timeout magic.
07:19 - Credit goes to Bradley Beal with the defense.
07:23 - Maybe he was gonna give us a little news
07:24 or we'd get touched.
07:25 Trying to take some information.
07:27 - Look at this.
07:28 - Passed away by Durant, the full release for Davis.
07:32 Kevin Durant galloping the other way and 14 for him.
07:36 - Here's the steal by AD using that length
07:39 off to the races to pick up his 14th point.
07:43 - Suns need a bucket.
07:44 They've missed their last five.
07:47 J.O. is sneaking in the back door.
07:52 Timeout, Billy Donovan.
07:55 - Card judiciously here in this second quarter.
07:58 - They're playing aggressive
07:59 so that back door is definitely.
08:01 - Booker, switch against his former teammate Paul.
08:03 Now it's Durant, rides it up, hits it and a foul.
08:08 Kevin Durant is lethal.
08:11 - It's amazing.
08:12 What game was that on the date?
08:14 - I believe the Buffalo.
08:16 - It's like you and me in the food line.
08:20 - A little hesitation coming from Durant, fading back.
08:24 - Exactly, and Goodwin is built just like that.
08:29 Watch this, it's no spot on the floor that Kevin Durant.
08:33 - Approaching the one minute mark.
08:35 - He's gonna have to run a body at Durant.
08:38 - Delvin Johnson all alone.
08:39 Durant goes right by him in a two handed jam.
08:43 - A milestone for Kevin Durant.
08:45 - 27,001 points.
08:54 - Playoff LeBron, you know what you're gonna get
08:56 on the offensive end, it's this end.
08:57 He's gotta stay locked in.
08:59 - Durant drives hard to the basket,
09:02 count it and another foul.
09:04 - To his side, but also due to his work.
09:07 He works on his game.
09:08 - Slip again behind, loose ball gets redirected to Allen.
09:14 McDaniel with a hand in the face, doesn't matter.
09:21 KD Trey says, "Give me the and one."
09:24 - Like, you're not running anybody, he's not getting help.
09:27 - And he's had some mini success
09:29 during the course of a game.
09:30 - Running the points forward, we'll call it,
09:33 on the crossover, slides inside, sets up Nerkic
09:36 for an easy two, give KD Trey the dime.
09:40 - We would expect to see folks' minutes
09:43 increase a little bit tonight.
09:44 Of course, they had to with Durant going to work again,
09:47 gets the finish and the foul.
09:50 - And when he and Devin are doing what they're doing,
09:57 it's almost like tomorrow.
09:59 - Boston was blowing out Milwaukee,
10:01 the Bucks came back to make it a game.
10:03 Still plenty of time and a potent offense.
10:05 (indistinct)
10:07 - Had a three-point play.
10:09 - Which is so efficient because once he gets to that-
10:14 - Shake that one off, 72 all, Siakam with 20.
10:17 Nerkic feeds over the top to Durant,
10:22 a beautiful little give and go and a dime coming.
10:25 - Durant looking to post up Holliday,
10:28 huge height advantage there.
10:30 And Durant just rises up, count it, and one.
10:32 Holliday was all over him,
10:34 but still couldn't do anything about it.
10:35 - To me anyway, right?
10:37 So just look at me, backs down, great position,
10:40 nothing you can do, all you have to-
10:42 - Durant using the screen, gets around two defenders,
10:47 jab, and it goes!
10:49 That is not an easy angle for KD.
10:52 - And around that rim.
10:54 - Trying to learn anything from last night.
10:56 You've got to see man and ball when you pass him.
10:59 (crowd cheering)
11:01 - KD measured that one all the way
11:03 when he saw a defender, what-
11:04 - As they closed the gap within 13,
11:08 which is where we're at right now.
11:09 (crowd cheering)
11:11 Durant, tough turnaround, money.
11:14 (crowd cheering)
11:16 (upbeat music)
11:21 - A la Kurt, timeout Charlotte.
11:25 - Look, when things get a little hairy,
11:27 you get it to your start.
11:30 - Guillambo, into that right hand,
11:33 good defense by Nurek,
11:34 knowing that he normally wants to go to the left.
11:36 Suns still have not missed in the quarter,
11:38 they're seven for seven.
11:40 Durant trying to make it eight for eight, and does!
11:42 (crowd cheering)
11:43 - Back to how his team made it moving,
11:45 and that's just toast right there.
11:47 - Big three is healthy playing game seven together tonight.
11:50 - The ball with the fake, shot clock at two,
11:52 Durant over Reeds.
11:54 Wow, what a stroke, Kevin Durant.
11:57 - Just over the last 15, 20 games.
12:00 (crowd cheering)
12:02 Durant on the drive with the floater and the foul.
12:05 (crowd cheering)
12:06 - Amongst them all, no shot he can't make.
12:10 Left leg, right leg.
12:12 (crowd cheering)
12:14 - Get to the KD on the baseline, fade, money.
12:17 (crowd cheering)
12:18 - He looks at Willie Durant.
12:19 (crowd cheering)
12:22 - McConnell with a turnaround,
12:24 good defense there by Akogi.
12:26 McConnell wanted the whistle,
12:27 won't get it up ahead to Durant.
12:28 Durant.
12:29 (crowd cheering)
12:31 - Via rolls, little floater, left it short,
12:34 grew in the offensive glass.
12:36 KD straight away.
12:38 (crowd cheering)
12:38 Boom!
12:39 (crowd cheering)
12:42 - And just getting it to the right person, right Sophie?
12:49 - Hey, KD is on fire.
12:51 - I thought Tucker right there was like wanting to flop,
12:54 but he knows that's probably a $2,000 fine.
12:57 - Yeah, just ask Josh Akogi.
12:59 As Durant, better himself in the tournament side.
13:01 (crowd cheering)
13:04 - The transition defense there by the Spurs,
13:07 but Durant, knifing his way inside,
13:09 gets the finish and the foul.
13:11 - Hard play there by KD, you know.
13:13 - Gonna take advantage quickly.
13:15 (crowd cheering)
13:16 - The key is.
13:17 - We'll take the easy two.
13:18 - Suns trying to counter quickly.
13:20 (crowd cheering)
13:22 - With the drive inside.
13:24 Durant gets the ball on the deck, gets the foul.
13:29 - A little better job yesterday afternoon in Philadelphia.
13:39 - Durant on a tough off balance,
13:42 baseline shot over Stewart.
13:44 (crowd cheering)
13:48 (crowd cheering)
13:50 - Durant, trying to take the handoff inside,
13:53 hammers it home, leaves no doubt about that one.

13:59 Davis gets it back, misses that one,
14:01 Nurkic grabs it, quick outlet, here come the Suns.
14:04 - High stepping as Durant goes right back,
14:08 Cam Reddish counted and a foul.
14:10 (crowd cheering)
14:13 - Christian Wood trying to stay with Durant.
14:16 Foul shot, counted and one.
14:18 Dominating here in this third quarter.
14:22 - Away from Kevin, that allows him to hit the first three.
14:25 Then in the face of Christian Wood, the three,
14:27 and now another bucket on Christian Wood.
14:29 They're just attacking him.
14:31 (crowd cheering)
14:33 - Gets underneath the defender,
14:36 he'll take that little elbow jumper.
14:38 19 for KD.
14:41 - Now, hopefully he can build on that.
14:45 - Markiton makes one out of two.
14:46 They feed Durant down low inside.
14:48 A little off balance slip by Markiton
14:51 that allows Durant to score.
14:53 - Larry Markiton in the first bucket for Durant.
14:55 - Yeah, KD is just so dangerous at any level.
14:57 Little George Girvin right here,
14:59 just a nice little finger roll off the glass.
15:02 - Others say they've only attempted seven three-point shots
15:05 as Aiden nearly had it,
15:07 but Allen there to scoop up the loose ball.
15:09 Finds a streak and Kevin Durant,
15:11 who brings the boom.
15:13 - Defense is getting it started, and Kevin Durant.
15:19 - Schroeder, left wing jumper, no.
15:22 Gordon rebound, quickly up ahead to Durant.
15:25 Durant explodes to the basket.
15:27 - Done a sensational job defensively tonight.
15:30 - KD to one man pass break,
15:32 the little blow by that time.
15:34 - Isn't that real happening?
15:35 If you look where he's sitting right now.
15:37 - He's sitting in the stand.
15:40 - That last seat on Celebrity Row.
15:42 Allen kicks out inside, Durant throws it down,
15:45 they cut it to seven.
15:47 Eight of 15 from the field, 22 points.
15:53 - I won't even call that hot.
15:54 - He's eight of eight.
15:58 - Durant with the drive and the delivery.
16:00 - Now out there, the rookie for the Washington Wizards,
16:04 and he is impressive.
16:05 So they're gonna have to protect their dribble
16:07 at all times around Julo Bailly.
16:10 - Booker to his left, KD with another stuff.
16:13 Rises up and crashes down.
16:15 - Turnover, you wanna make 'em pay.

16:24 - Durant on the drive, floater at the buzzer.
16:29 Easy money sniper, cashing in for the late bucket.
16:36 - Booker on the advance pass up ahead now to KD.
16:38 Durant on the drive, rolls it to the rim.
16:44 11-2 Phoenix run, a five point game.
16:49 Bogner, as Batase rolls, KD meets him at the top
16:54 and break it out the eraser for the block.
16:56 Black nearly got it back.
16:59 Durant rising up and brings the boom.
17:03 - One of those nights for Jalen Sugg,
17:04 he's gonna pick up his fourth foul.
17:05 - He's an emotional player.
17:06 I love him.
17:07 I've loved him ever since I saw him at Gonzaga's
17:11 and I'm Jamal Mosley love him, just based on that.
17:14 But he took it.
17:15 - That's not a foul.
17:16 - Got caught in the face right in front of the official.
17:19 And Durant on the follow.
17:24 - He got fouled on the three.
17:25 And I don't know what this official is looking at.
17:28 I truly don't.
17:29 The official was standing there watching it
17:31 and we can just see the three point shot.
17:34 That one was obvious.
17:35 But the three point shot before that,
17:37 I mean, they hit him right on the bottom part of the-
17:40 - Shot clock at five.
17:41 In the corner, Wood, three, no.
17:43 Rebound Goodwin up and it goes to Durant.
17:46 He'll take it in, collides into Reeves.
17:50 There's another whistle.
17:52 Reeves will pick up another foul.
17:54 - Halfway through this fourth quarter.
17:57 Durant to the basket.
18:02 Durant lays it in left hand.
18:05 Durant tied up on the sweltering defense from Tobias Harris
18:10 and then Durant sees an opening
18:11 and takes it right to the rack and hammers it home.
18:14 - He will be able to beat them down the fourth
18:16 'cause they're all going for the offensive rebound.
18:19 - They're 15.
18:20 We've said these two teams lead the league
18:22 in turnovers as Durant inside and breaks the bull.
18:26 - Now they connect.
18:32 They've been trying that for the last two games.
18:35 - Davis, the rebound.
18:36 Back up, shot missed.
18:38 Wood again, knocked out of his hands.
18:40 Frank Hogan screaming for a foul.
18:42 Durant, a just punch it in and one.
18:45 - But Paul is gonna eventually squirt out
18:48 and Kevin Durant gets into transition or retreating.
18:51 Austin Reeves compounds an error there.
18:54 - Yeah, you think when Austin Reeves
18:55 was in high school or college,
18:56 he ever, ever envisioned that?
18:59 - And the problem for the Suns tonight
19:00 is more so the patience of Oklahoma City
19:03 and how they're gonna run their offense.
19:05 Knowing that they're gonna exhaust a lot of their options.
19:08 - Big shot, Kevin Durant.
19:10 Al Horford, Thaddeus Young, Jeff Green,
19:14 only other players drafted in 2007.
19:17 Central League and Durant with a beautiful turnaround.
19:20 The 14th pick of last year's draft.
19:24 Spent four years at Kansas.
19:26 Here's Durant backing down Collins off one leg.
19:30 Yeah, oh yeah.
19:32 It's Collins who controls here for the Utah Jazz.
19:35 Here is George, air bails that one.
19:37 Suns with numbers.
19:39 Three on one break, Durant bringing a little.
19:42 Boom.
19:43 - And that's a guard rebound.
19:44 That's not a forward rebound, but off and running.
19:47 Grayson just being patient.
19:48 Just waiting for the defense.
19:50 - 3-0 as a starter.
19:51 He started the last three with Aaron Gordon out
19:55 and Kevin Durant around the corner drops in the three.
19:59 - Xavier Tillman nearly had it.
20:01 Advance pass up ahead to Durant.
20:03 And Durant hammers it home.
20:05 - He takes up so much space when he's running the floor.
20:08 It's just unfair.
20:10 - Especially with the expectations.
20:11 I thought that he could possibly be at the top
20:14 of the charts and score.
20:15 Has not happened.
20:16 - Another backdoor cut for the Suns this time.
20:18 It's KD to the 10th floor.
20:20 - He is a 124.3 defensive rating.
20:23 Not good.
20:24 Out to Booker, gets the open look.
20:26 Deposits the triple in the face of Kamare.
20:29 - Well, the Suns are getting some good looks at threes
20:31 because why?
20:33 Basically making that defense get--
20:35 - Memphis playing with pace here in the first half.
20:39 Trying to ignite their offense.
20:42 Chance at a three-point play for Kevin Durant.
20:44 - Here's Nurkic right here with the great outlet pass.
20:48 Watch this.
20:49 Don't run him over.
20:49 Don't let him get a charge.
20:50 Pull up, take the 10-footer.
20:52 And then just dribble right to his face
20:55 and just drill the jumper.
20:58 (speaking in foreign language)
21:02 - Biggest lead either team has had now is KD.
21:11 Works his way through the paint.
21:13 Gets the finish and the foul.
21:15 - Box complaining to KD that he didn't foul him.
21:22 - Moran working one-on-one with Barnes.
21:28 The pull up.
21:29 KD up high.
21:34 Gotta let it fly.
21:35 - He's hurt their heart on two times now.
21:40 - KD with a turnaround.
21:48 6.46 to go in the fourth.
21:52 (upbeat music)
21:55 Had a double-double in 19 minutes in the game in Memphis.
22:03 As KD on the turnaround.
