Even though the Boston Celtics have the best record in the league this season, some guys are still testing them. One such example is Kevin Durant in the recent game between the leader of the Eastern Conference and the Phoenix Suns.
In this game, the Celtics came out on top 117-107. Tatum led Boston with 29 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on 39 percent shooting. Jaylen Brown added 27 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes.
Meanwhile, Kevin Durant led all players with 45 points on 69 percent shooting, 10 rebounds and six assists. Bradley Beal led the Suns with 25 points, four rebounds and three assists.
At this point in the season, the Celtics’ offense is first among all teams in the league, while their defense is third. On the other hand, Durant is averaging 28.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 57 games played for the Suns this season.
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum brings Kevin Durant to Real
After the game, the Celtics star spoke to the media and took it seriously how hard it was to contain Durant. In a video posted by NBCCeltics and Noah Dalzell on the X show:
Durant is undoubtedly one of the best scorers in NBA history. Using the Phoenix Suns All-Star’s size, athleticism, shooting and high basketball IQ, the Phoenix Suns All-Star can score anywhere on the court.
Luckily, the Celtics were able to double down on Durant and the Suns. With the win behind them, Boston seems to have some momentum to make the playoffs.
