On Wednesday night, Kevin Durant met Russell Westbrook and the Thunder for the second time since leaving the club this offseason. It was a highly anticipated matchup that ended quite one-sided for both KD and the Warriors.
Golden State picked up the win by a count of 121 to 100. Individually, Durant went for 40 points with 5 three-pointers in 33 minutes. Here's one of the more difficult of the five and three of his season-high 40.

Durant's focus was spot on, nailing 13 of 16 from the field and 9 of 10 from the line. He posted a true shooting of 98% and a nERD of 77.38, compared to Westbrook's 48.5% and -20.56 in those two categories, respectively.
