His 20 points topped the Rockets, mostly due to a versatile scoring night for the team, with six different players reaching double-digits.

Durant's numbers are a bit down from his normal career averages this season

12 games into the 2026-27 season, Durant is averaging 20.9 points, 6.1 boards and 3.6 assists while shooting an efficient 49.4% from the field, but only 34.8% from long range, which would be his lowest clip from three since his rookie year and the first under 40% since 2022-23 with the Brooklyn Nets.

One of the most decorated players in basketball history, Durant is 16-time All-Star, a six-time All-NBA first-team, owns two All-Star Game MVP awards, is a two-time NBA champion, winning the Finals MVP in both years (2017, 2018) and was named the 2013-14 league MVP. Durant is also the all-time leading scorer in Olympic history and a four-time gold medalist.
