Kevin Durant’s amazing scoring streak has ended for the Oklahoma City Thunder

Leading up to last night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant had gone 29 straight games scoring 25 or more points.  Durant had 17 points at halftime, and it looked like he was going to extend his impressive scoring streak to 30 games.  The Spurs’ pesky Manu Ginobli came out in the second half and played some tough defense on Durant, including an impressive block on a two-handed, fast break dunk Durant attempted late in the 4th quarter.  That block was a key play in the game, and it took all of the momentum from the Thunder, who ended up losing 95-87.  Durant went scoreless in the final quarter and his long scoring streak came to an end.  He finished the game with 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.  The streak is a franchise record and the third longest streak of 25+ points by a forward in NBA history.  It is also the longest streak since Michael Jordan’s 40 game streak in 1986-87.  During the 29-game streak, the Thunder went 20-9 and Durant shot 51% from the field and averaged 32.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 blocks.  This was a really impressive streak that Durant had going, especially when you consider the fact that he is only 21-years-old and it is only his third year in the NBA.
