Kevin Durant is a Bad Mother Duck

February 16th, 2015 by aswitzer

I attended the February 9th Nuggets game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Pepsi Center with one of my long-time friends and his daughter.

At the end of the first half, Kevin Durant… “went off”. As in a frenzy of made 3’s, he went off. The Nuggets, who had dug a nice 20 point hole in the first quarter had cut into more than half that deficit with a fine 2nd quarter until the final 2:34.

Then, this happened:

2:34	Kevin Durant makes 26-foot three point jumper	60-49
2:19		60-49	Kenneth Faried misses two point shot
2:18	Russell Westbrook defensive rebound	60-49
2:10	Kevin Durant makes 25-foot three point jumper (Russell Westbrook assists)	63-49
1:59	Serge Ibaka shooting foul (Jusuf Nurkic draws the foul)	63-49
1:59		63-49	Jusuf Nurkic misses free throw 1 of 2
1:59		63-49	Nuggets offensive team rebound
1:59		63-50	Jusuf Nurkic makes free throw 2 of 2
1:46	Kevin Durant makes 26-foot three point jumper	66-50
1:32		66-50	Ty Lawson bad pass (Andre Roberson steals)
1:30	Russell Westbrook makes two point shot (Andre Roberson assists)	68-50
1:15		68-52	Wilson Chandler makes driving layup
1:01		68-52	Wilson Chandler personal foul (Kevin Durant draws the foul)
1:01	Kevin Durant makes free throw 1 of 3	69-52
1:01	Kevin Durant misses free throw 2 of 3	69-52
1:01	Thunder offensive team rebound	69-52
1:01		69-52	Darrell Arthur enters the game for Jusuf Nurkic
1:01	Kevin Durant makes free throw 3 of 3	70-52
0:41		70-55	Ty Lawson makes 25-foot three point jumper
0:35	Kevin Durant makes 28-foot three point jumper (Russell Westbrook assists)	73-55

 

14 points in less than 2 minutes.

Then, Kevin felt the need to say something about his scoring explosion:

For those younger members out there, let’s just go with “I’m a bad Mother Duck” and leave it at that.

Needless to say, the Nuggets could never fully regroup and ended up losing 114-124.
