Two nights after dropping 41 points in the Big Apple and torching the Knicks, Durant continued his domination and scored 34 points in the game. He went 11-20 from the field with a field-goal percentage of 55.0.

Durant started the game with a tough layup and went on to hit a couple of tough shots. He was aggressive and attacked the rim on several occasions. The Nets' defenders were left scratching their heads as Durant went 10-11 from the charity stripe.

The 2014 MVP finished the game with 34 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. He also showed up on the defensive end to collect a steal and a block.

With Nets making a late surge in the fourth quarter, Warriors were up by just 2 points and with 1:44 sec remaining, Durant knocked down a mid-range jumper to extend the lead to 4 and gave the Warriors, the much-needed cushion.
