But KD's nonstop offensive onslaught while wreaking havoc on the defensive end eventually proved to be too much for a Wolves team that was clearly on the come-up that season, but had a fair amount of work to do to become a playoff team as it was constructed back then. The Thunder trailed for the entirety of the first half, and were down 5 points to start the 4th. None of those performances, however, match the kind of influence he exerted on both sides of the court on the 1st of December, 2013 against a Minnesota Timberwolves that was on the rise. KD's MVP season saw him put up an assortment of crazily underrated performances. #5 The only player to record a 32/10/12/4/4 statline Minnesota Timberwolves v Oklahoma City Thunder
#KEVIN DURANT STTS SERIES#
He still averaged over 20 points per game in those series as well, and his streak of playoff series with a 25 ppg average is 16 series long - next only to Michael Jordan who has an outrageous streak of 37 straight series to his credit.
In 24 playoff series played thus far, Durant has averaged below 25 points per game only twice, and those were in 2016-17 when he wasn't necessarily a primary scorer since he was coming off foot injuries. He's the greatest mid-range scorer in the history of the game behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, shooting over 50% in the playoffs in the 10-24 foot range over the past 6 seasons. He currently averages 28.8 points per game over the course of 127 playoff games, and his game and frame is well-suited to keep this average up even late into his 30s, purely because he isn't overly reliant on his athleticism or speed to get those points. Kevin Durant is no slouch when it comes to scoring in the playoffs either. #4 Second-longest playoff series streak with 25+ points scoring average He did so on what was the second-highest scoring average of all players on that list as well - 28.1 points per game.
