Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant did it again on Monday night, scoring 41-points in addition to knocking down the game winning shot over multiple Atlanta Hawks defenders.
Durant, with the ball at mid-court and five seconds remaining, curled towards the elbow with multiple Hawks defenders surrounding him. Elevating, Durant drained the shot over three Hawks giving the Thunder a tw0-point lead which they wouldn’t relinquish.
The Hawks couldn’t have done anything more than they did – essentially forcing Durant into a tough shot, leaving other players open for a game winning bucket not wanting to be beaten by the Durantula. It still didn’t work and the Atlanta Twitter feed (known for their hilarious and snarky responses) weren’t thrilled with it.
Not fair, Kevin Durant.

We are not amused.

MT @YahooSports: Kevin Durant (41 points) hits game-winner over 2 defenders to push #Thunder past #ATLHawks.
If that wasn’t funny enough, the Hawks decided to re-tweet a photoshopped picture of the final play adding more amusement to the situation.
That would be a lot of luxury tax.

No need to be upset, Hawks. Kevin Durant has screwed over just about every team in the league this year – some more than once.
