NEW YORK — Kevin Durant was a man on a mission.
Durant scored a season-high 45 points — including 19 in the third quarter — to lead the Nets to a 109-102 win over the Orlando Magic Monday night at Barclays Center.
Durant, whose previous season high was 37 points in games against Dallas and Memphis, said in his on-court postgame interview that he knew when he woke up this morning that he was going to have a big game.
