Kevin Durant put on a show during the Phoenix Suns’ 123-112 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

The two-time NBA champion scored 42 points (17-of-29 from the field) to join LeBron James as the only two players to score 40-plus points in a game against every team in the league.

In the aftermath of his impressive performance, which led the Suns to a third consecutive win, the NBA’s official X account gave Durant a new nickname to sum up his impressive scoring abilities.

The Suns remain tied with the Dallas Mavericks for the 10th spot in the West standings.

The Cavaliers entered Friday’s game as an 8.5-point favorite (per ESPN Bet) and were upset by the Suns, who extended their winning streak to three games.

“I mean, this is the best team in the league, record-wise,” Durant said on the win, via Sports Illustrated. “They clinched the playoffs a week ago.

So, we know how dominant they been all season, and we were locked in since yesterday on a game plan and trying to come out here and play our best game tonight. So excited about the win.”

The Suns carried high expectations into the 2024-25 NBA season. A couple of weeks away from the end of the regular season, they’re still fighting to secure a play-in spot with the Mavericks.

Both teams boast a 34-37 record, and the next games will be crucial to define the last participant in the play-in tournament.

Amid rumors of a potential offseason trade, Durant keeps performing at a high level to try to lead his team to the postseason.
