Scoring a double-double every time he set foot on the court, Durant started the week with a 43 point, 10 rebound and five assist blitz against the New Orleans Hornets. The 43 points marked the fifth time this season that Durant
has gone past 40 points in a game; the most in the NBA.
After propelling the Thunder to a 104-93 win over the Hornets, he then took on the Phoenix Suns in a thrilling contest. Although Jeff Green rose to the occasion to help the Thunder, Durant still had 24 points to go along with
11 rebounds and three blocks in a 111-107 win.
