On Sunday night Kevin Durant continued to build an all-time great career résumé by moving up the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
The Rockets superstar entered yesterday’s game against the Pelicans in need of 17 points to pass Dirk Nowitzki for sixth on the scoring list. It took him almost the entire game to get there but he finally did with fewer than 30 seconds remaining in the fourth. Durant lined up at the free throw line and knocked down his first attempt to hit 31,561 career points; Nowitzki finished his illustrious NBA career with 31,560. Everyone in the Houston stands knew what was happening and went wild for KD.
