The 8 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: Chef Curry Cooks the Clips

5. Kevin Durant vs. Los Angeles Clippers

A week ago, Kevin Durant found himself at the very top of this same list, so it shouldn't be surprising to see him among the perfect performers yet again. That's especially the case considering Durant and his Golden State Warriors' matchup with an overmatched Los Angeles Clippers team.

Absent Chris Paul and with a limited Blake Griffin, the Clippers were steamrolled by a Golden State team at full strength. In a 46-point shellacking, Durant racked up 23 points in just 28 minutes. He was very efficient with his time, earning a true shooting percentage of 96.8% via 9 of 11 shooting and 3 for 4 from three. It wasn't just all scoring, though.

In addition to his near perfect shooting night, KD turned in seven assists and four rebounds to go with a block and a steal. His offensive rating of 203.4 led the team, and his 55.37 nERD was key to the Warriors' quick and easy disposal of the Clippers.
