Kevin Durant's season-high 39 points and clutch free throws lift Rockets over Timberwolves

Kevin Durant scored 39 points and made a season-best six 3-pointers to lead the Houston Rockets to a 110-105 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves

Scores season-high 39 points in win Durant finished Friday's 110-105 win over the Timberwolves with 39 points (11-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 40 minutes.

Impact Durant caught fire from beyond the arc and tied Julius Randle for the game-best mark in points, though it was the former who led his team to a win. Durant's 39 points set a new season high, and he has reached the 30-point threshold in 14 of his 37 regular-season appearances. The superstar also led the Rockets in assists, dishing out at least seven dimes for the third time this month. Additionally, the veteran forward matched the game high in steals and has recorded multiple swipes in back-to-back appearances for just the second time this season.

Paces Houston with 19 points Durant ended Thursday's 111-91 loss to Oklahoma City with 19 points (7-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes.

Impact Durant struggled to get in a groove offensively and only managed to lead the Rockets in scoring due to sheer volume. Thursday marked the first time since Dec. 11 that he's been held under 20 points, which speaks to the tear that he's been on for the last month or so. Durant was also more active on the defensive end, tying his season high in steals after failing to record a swipe in his previous nine games.
