ary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

The Golden State Warriors continue to enjoy the fruits of this Kevin Durant fellow.

Durant blocked a career-high six shots in Saturday's 115-102 handling of the Minnesota Timberwolves - to go along with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists.

In doing so, he became the first player in Warriors history to log more than 25 points, 10 boards, five dimes, and five swats in a game, according to ESPN and Elias.

Of course, Durant started at power forward and also played minutes at the five with Draymond Green out with an ankle injury. If anything, Saturday was the best demonstration so far in Warriors blue and yellow of what a game-changer he can be for this team on the defensive end - and this came with the Wolves outshooting the Warriors 56 to 41 percent.
