Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant has been doing Kevin Durant things even at the age of 36 to start the season.
After becoming the oldest player with four-straight 25-point games to begin a season, it appeared that Durant was en route to extending the streak in Phoenix’s 125-119 comeback win over the Los Angeles Clippers Thursday with 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting through three quarters.
However, Durant did not even attempt a shot in the fourth quarter against L.A., ending his night with the 18 points. In the first four games, Durant had been averaging 10.3 points on 57.1% shooting in the fourth quarter.
After the win, Durant called out bettors on X telling them “better luck next time.”
Great dub suns, and for my parlayers, better luck next time lol

While Durant did not score in the fourth, he did have two clutch blocks at the rim, as the Suns outscored the Clippers 73-49 in the second half.
Phoenix came back from down as much as 21 points to get the road win, led by a season-high 40 points from Devin Booker, picking up their third-straight win and improving to 4-1 on the season.
The Suns, now in second place in the Western Conference, will next take on the Portland Trail Blazers (2-3) at home on Saturday.
