can do just about anything he wants to on a basketball court. He just can't do everything
.
Not for 48 minutes, anyway. Not without a little more help. Not against a Memphis Grizzlies team that's throwing wave upon wave of defenders in his way.
It is a testament to Durant's greatness that he has put the Oklahoma City Thunder in position to win each of the first four games of this series with Russell Westbrook sidelined for the rest of the playoffs with a knee injury
.
It is a crying shame he might go out in the second round anyway.
But that's where Durant and the Thunder find themselves, down 3-1 in this best-of-seven series entering Wednesday night's Game 5 at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Durant has carried the Thunder in the two weeks since Westbrook went down. He's scored more, facilitated more and led more.
He's started to look like his good friend LeBron James used to look in Cleveland -- like the only star in the sky.
James had to leave Cleveland to find his supporting cast. What's so hard for Durant and the Thunder is that this franchise was built so neither Durant nor Westbrook ever has to go anywhere.
The Thunder have enough talent to win now and in the future. They have draft picks and salary-cap flexibility to tweak at the margins.
And then they had awful, awful luck.
"That's something I probably will reflect on after [the season]," Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said Tuesday when asked if he's allowed himself to think how differently this series might have gone if Westbrook were healthy. "But that doesn't do us any good right now. ... That's so hypothetical; that's no fun to even think about. But I know we can do it. We just have to do it one game at a time."
Golden State runs off nine unanswered points in overtime to defeat Spurs 97-87 to tie series 2-2. Harrison Barnes records 26 points and 10 boards. Box | Hang Time: Spurs-Warriors coverage
Miami Heat news

Your Miami HEAT defeat the Chicago Bulls 115-78 to even the White Hot best-of-7 series at 1!
Ray Allen: 21 points

After the Bulls snapped the Heat’s 27-game winning streak, LeBron James wasn’t pleased with the physical way that Chicago played him defensively, and lamented the lack of flagrant fouls called on two specific plays.
Those comments apparently made their way to the league office, where at least one play from that game was reviewed, and it was decided to be worthy of a retroactive upgrade to a flagrant one foul.
