At the same time as the explosion, Kevin Durant also broke multiple records.
This is the first time that Durant has scored 50d+ this season, and it is also a new high in his Nets career and the first time in his Nets career that he has scored 50+ points. In addition, this game Durant also ushered in his career 1700 three-point milestone, before the Pistons, Durant has shot 1696 three-pointers, this game Durant threw 5 three-pointers, to complete his career regular season 1700 three-pointers milestone, becoming the 26th player in NBA history to achieve this achievement, and his predecessor is Dale Ellis's 1719 three-pointers, this record, Adu is not expected to use too many games to break.

So far this season, Durant has had 684 points, 182 rebounds and 130 assists, it is hard to imagine that this is a player who has experienced a torn Achilles tendon, and Kevin Durant is using his own practical actions to tell fans that despite the serious injury, he is still the familiar grim reaper.
After this game, the Nets' record reached 19 wins and 8 losses, continuing to lead the East, while the Nets also gave the Pistons 12 consecutive losses. 51 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds, such a stat is really too eye-catching, head coach Nash in the post-game interview for Kevin Durant's performance was full of praise, even the American media directly called Durant a scoring machine.
