On March 22, Beijing time, Durant continued to open the single-core team mode, and in the strong battle between the Nets and the Jazz, Durant ushered in a career milestone. Durant's career regular season total score officially surpassed lakers legend Jerry West's 25,192 points record and rose to 22nd in the all-time scoring list, and the current team is second only to James and Anthony in 3rd place.
Because the Nets have more home and less away games in the remaining regular season, Durant needs to carry more tasks to lead the team out of the single core, and Irving has not yet been able to return to full-time mode, which also makes him unable to play in the Nets' home game. In addition, Simmons has been recuperating from a back injury, and it is still unknown when he will be able to return, coupled with injuries such as Aldridge and Joha, it is naturally a great weakening of the Nets.
Facing a 4th-place Jazz showdown in the West, Durant is leading the Nets to a showdown with the Jazz for the first time since joining the Nets in 2019. Durant continued to exert his offensive scoring power in this game, and he continued to score points from inside and outside the court, continuing to shoulder the nets' offensive responsibilities.
With Durant having scored at least 17 points in this game, his career regular season total has reached at least 25,193 points, officially surpassing lakers legend Jerry West's record of 25,192 points and rising to the 22nd place in NBA history, the previous being Pacers Hall of Fame legend Reggie Miller 25,279 points.
As for the active players, Durant ranks third in the total regular season points, behind James and Anthony, two 37-year-old veterans.
