Amen Thompson - Double-double in Miami Thompson closed with 20 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-12 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact The double-double was the 12th of the season for Thompson, and third in February. The third-year guard struggled to stay healthy and productive during the month, and through 10 games he averaged 13.3 points, 7.2 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Kevin Durant - Paces Houston in loss Durant contributed 32 points (12-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact After dropping 40 points in Thursday's win over Orlando, Durant poured in a game-high 32 points Saturday. In 11 February appearances, he reached the 30-point threshold five times. Although he was efficient from the field Saturday, the superstar struggled from three-point range and has shot just 4-for-18 from downtown over his last two games. On a more positive note, Durant recorded a game-high eight assists and a team-best two blocks, tallying multiple swats for just the second time since Jan. 11.
