The The Houston Rockets suffered a 115-105 loss on Saturday at the Miami Heat, officially ending the club’s three-game winning streak. Despite the loss, Kevin Durant managed to make NBA history by surpassing Kobe Bryant in the astonishing statistics of the results.

Durant scored his 30th point late in the fourth quarter on a fast break layup. That bucket made the 432nd time in his career to score at least 30 points in a game. The 37-year-old forward moved Bryant out of the top five all-time for most career 30-point games.

Kevin Durant finished the game against the Heat with 32 points, five rebounds, eight assists and two blocks. He shot 60.0% from the floor and 25.0% from beyond the three-point line. He led the Rockets in points, while Amen Thompson finished second with 20.

The 18-year veteran has been a scoring machine throughout his career. He is so effective, even this late in his career Kendrick Perkins calls Kevin Durant “The Beyoncé of the Offensive End.” Essentially arguing that Durant’s ability as a scorer is equivalent to Beyoncé who has won 35 Grammy Awards for her musical talent.

Durant has been as effective as ever in Houston, serving as one of the club’s scoring options. He entered Saturday’s game against the Heat averaging 26.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game while shooting 50.8% from the field and 40.2% from beyond the arc.

Kevin Durant will have another chance to add to his 30-point game on Monday, March 2nd. The Rockets are set to face a struggling Washington Wizards team. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM EST that day.
