Durant reached 31,000 points in his 1,141st game, tying LeBron James for the third-fewest games to reach this milestone in NBA history.
- On Friday, Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant hit a 10-foot jumper with 6:15 remaining in the first quarter and reached 31,000 career points after two free throws earlier.
- Durant entered the game needing four points and narrowly missed reaching 31,000 two nights earlier in a 121-95 win over the Sacramento Kings, quipping `Damn, I could have that tonight,` after Wednesday's win.
- Durant reached the mark in his 1,141st career game, tying LeBron James for the third-fewest games, and finished with 24 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds and a block in 32 minutes.
- If he stays healthy, Durant could pass Wilt Chamberlain and Dirk Nowitzki this season, underscoring his resilience and steady ascent.
- As the 2007 second overall pick, Durant's career reflects sustained excellence, with his height, wingspan and mid-range jumper driving his scoring, which fans hailed as a master class.
