With 38 points on the night, this was Durant's third-highest scoring total of the campaign. The Suns are sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 35-37 record, but they are still within striking distance of several teams ahead of them. As long as Phoenix is in the playoff hunt, Durant isn't likely to be dialed back.

This pivotal moment resulted in a nail-biting 108-106 win for the Suns. With the home crowd in a hushed awe, the eruption of cheers following the successful shot was both electrifying and a testament to Durant's ability to perform under pressure.
