Steve Kerr admits that the new-look Golden State Warriors have been struggling to start the season, but Kevin Durant put up MVP-caliber numbers Sunday night to lead the Warriors to a win over Phoenix on the road.

Durant scored a game-high 37 points on just 16 shots from the field - he went 15-of-16 from the free-throw line - and Durant didn't even need both shoes to get to the bucket. On a play in the second quarter, Durant was stepped on by Phoenix's Devin Booker and lost his shoe while going around a screen, but Durant took another dribble and hit a floater over Alex Len.
