Alright, so the other day I found myself wanting to check up on Kevin Durant’s performance, specifically his last five games. It wasn’t for any big reason, really. Just got curious after catching some highlights, you know how it is. Wanted to see if he was still consistently putting up those big numbers everyone expects.
So, first thing I did was grab my phone. Didn’t even open a specific app right away. Just went straight to my browser. I typed in something simple, like “durant last 5 games stats”. Pretty straightforward search.
Got a bunch of results back, mostly the usual suspects – big sports news sites, the official league site, stat tracker pages. I usually just click the first or second link that looks like it’s gonna give me raw stats, not some opinion piece.
Landed on a page, I think it was ESPN or maybe the NBA one, can’t quite recall which loaded faster. Anyway, it popped up his recent game log. Had to scroll a tiny bit to make sure I was looking at the most recent games listed. They usually lay it out pretty clearly, date by date.
Looking at the Numbers
And there it was. A list, game by game, for the last five matchups he played in. It showed the basic stuff I was looking for:
- Points scored
- Rebounds
- Assists
Sometimes they throw in shooting percentages too, like field goals, three-pointers, free throws. Helps paint a better picture of how efficient he was, not just how much he scored.
I spent a couple of minutes just scanning through those numbers. Looked at the points mainly, compared them game over game. Checked if the rebounds and assists were holding steady too. It’s always interesting to see the flow, if there was a blowout game or a really tight contest affecting his numbers.
Honestly, the whole process took maybe two, three minutes tops? Super easy these days. You just punch in what you want, and boom, data right there. Way different from having to wait for the newspaper box scores back in the day, that’s for sure. So yeah, that was my little dive into KD’s recent stats. Simple curiosity, quick search, job done.
