The Golden State Warriors battle the Phoenix Suns tonight, with former teammate Kevin Durant wearing his division rival’s colors for the contest. Durant has long been a difficult opponent for the Dubs, especially when he was a big threat for them as a superstar with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
But after three seasons, two titles and two NBA Finals MVPs as a member of the Golden Empire, he has come to worry them, first as the Brooklyn Net and now in Phoenix.
Overall, KD has averaged 29.3 points per game in 37 contests against the Dubs.
In case you were wondering, here is the full list of the top 5 Warrior killers by PPG and games played:
- Luka Doncic 30.2 ppg in 20 games
- Kevin Durant scored 29.3 ppg in 37 games
- Michael Jordan 28.8 ppg in 26 games
- Damian Lillard 28.4 36 games
- George Gervin 28.4 in 41 games
