There is no question that Kevin Durant is among the best scorers in the NBA, with a case to be at the top of the hierarchy. Durant averaged 26.9 PPG in the regular season and has elevated his scoring in the playoffs, averaging 32.0 PPG in the postseason currently. There is no question that Kevin Durant has hit another level in the playoffs, and that has shown in the Brooklyn Nets’ domination in the playoffs so far. Perhaps there is no real solution to stopping Kevin Durant’s scoring. However, the Milwaukee Bucks will have to figure something out or risk losing the series.
