It’s still too early to make any real MVP statement, but this is absolutely the kind of game you file away in the memory bank for later. The way Durant carried his team — again — against a good team behind a transcendent performance… that’s what MVP seasons are made of.

“That’s premature man. It’s still early in the season,” Durant said of the MVP talk. “I try not to think about that type of stuff. Of course as a player, you’d love to win an MVP award. Can’t think about that, can’t take my focus off the team. Every day I’ve got to just keep chipping away, keep enjoying the process and we’ll see what happens.”
