Yes, remarkably for the 20th time in their respective NBA careers, Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant and Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James dueled. Durant came into the game without a victory over James in Cleveland and LeBron made sure to keep that streak alive, despite the fact he was missing three of the Cavs five regular rotation guards.
After last night’s great matchup in Cleveland, LeBron’s continued dominance of KD has hit new strides. For their careers, LeBron holds a 16-4 record over KD, including their NBA finals matchup in 2012.
LeBron flirted with a triple-double last night as he dropped 33 points on 12-27 shooting with 11 assists and nine rebounds in 39 minutes of play. Durant on the otherhand scored 25 points on 7-17 shooting with five assists in 40 minutes of play.
