While most 37-year-olds begin to deal with the wear and tear of time, Kevin Durant shows no signs of slowing down. In the Rockets’ visit to the Suns, which Houston won 119-105, leaving Phoenix stuck in the Play-In picture, KD was decisive with 24 points – despite shooting an inefficient 8-of-20 from the field.
The highlight came in the second quarter, when the former Sun (traded to Houston in the biggest deal in history) delivered a signature moment against Dillon Brooks: a lightning-quick crossover that sent the Suns defender off balance and down to the floor with his hands on the hardwood.
Unfazed, KD followed it up with his trademark mid-range jumper over the outstretched arms of Mark Williams, silencing the arena in admiration and asserting himself over Brooks with a touch of trash talk:
This moment is just the latest example of why Durant is considered the most fluid scorer in basketball history. At 37, the two-time Finals MVP hasn’t lost a step in either quickness or elegance.
Doing it against Brooks likely carried extra meaning: the two have a history, coming off seasons filled with verbal and physical clashes that even led to Brooks’ ejection last year after a heated confrontation – in the same matchup, but with reversed jerseys.
The Rocketsnow chasing their seventh straight win, are targeting the Lakers for the fourth spot in the Western Conference and home-court advantage. If Durant continues to move with this kind of ease, the mission looks far from impossible.
