Dakvin Durant tonight (between the first and the second) became the 10th player to reach 28 thousand points in his NBA career in the loss of the Phoenix Suns to the Orlando Magic.
Durant did it in 1025 games in the best league in the world, the fourth fastest, behind Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan and Kareem-Abdul Jasser - and ahead of LeBron James, the all-time basket king.

Despite Durant's achievement, he lost seven balls and scored only 15 points.
He claimed after the game that he "disrupted the team's momentum", and did not really celebrate his impressive achievement.
Durant explained: "I wasn't very smart with the ball, I lead by example by doing things like that, and it kind of messes up the whole game. I just think it sets a bad precedent for the team and everybody feeds off of that, and it just snowballs. Really that's what lost the game ".
Devin Booker scored 44 points after a game of 62, but he also did not help the Suns who ended up losing 113:98.
"They played physical the whole game," said Booker, who has averaged 41 points in his last six games.
"I think after the start we had they just got physical again."
