After the tough loss, Durant met with the media (h/t Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints).

Durant: "Sometimes a team just beats your scheme, a team just shoot over you, a team can just be bigger than you... Sometimes, the team is just better than you."

“Sometimes, the team just better than you.”

Durant finished the loss with 30 points, one rebound and two assists while shooting 11/16 from the field and 3/4 from the three-point range in 30 minutes of playing time.

He has been playing some of his best basketball of the season over the last week.

Via Keith Smith of Spotrac: "It's been years of this, and Kevin Durant still seems like the create-a-player you make when you get a little bored with your video game and want to mess around.

One of the all-time great pure scorers."
