In Game 5 vs. the Milwaukee Bucks, Kevin Durant put up 49 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks with shooting 16-23 FG and recording 48 of 48 minutes played. When the Brooklyn Nets needed someone to save their season, Kevin Durant stepped up and delivered one of the best postseason masterpieces basketball fans have ever seen.

With Kyrie Irving sidelined due to injury, James Harden battling through a hamstring injury, and Brooklyn’s championship hopes hanging by a thread against Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and the NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks, KD put the franchise on his back.

He never came out of the game. By the time the final buzzer sounded, KD had become the first player in NBA Playoff history to record at least 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists in a single postseason game. Every shot seemed automatic. Every possession felt like Brooklyn’s only chance to survive. Every defensive stop, rebound, and bucket reminded everyone why Durant is widely considered one of the greatest scorers and pure offensive talents the game has ever seen. This was a superstar refusing to let his season end.

With no margin for error, Durant had one of the most complete NBA Playoffs games by an NBA player. The Bucks would go on to win the 2021 NBA Championship. Some legendary performances are remembered because of the statistics. Others are remembered because of the feeling they gave every basketball fan watching live. Kevin Durant’s Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks had both.
