Warriors' Kevin Durant: Efficient until double-overtime

Durant scored 39 points (12-28 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 12-12 FT) along with 13 rebounds, two assists, three steals and three blocked shots while playing 49 minutes in Golden State's double-overtime loss to Houston on Thursday.

Analysis:

Durant was full value for the first 53 minutes, but missed all four shots in the second overtime as his teammates stopped moving and the offense's signature ball movement disappeared, forcing him to break down defenders. He's an elite scorer and breaking down an opponent one-on-one is within his offensive arsenal, but at the end of a long night, even Durant needs help and the support wasn't there.
