OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Kevin Durant(notes) earned himself a place in NBA history. Without
a trip to the playoffs, too, it would be nearly as special.


Durant scored 31 points to finish the season as the youngest NBA scoring
champion, and the Oklahoma City Thunder survived a sloppy second half to head
into the postseason with a 114-105 win Wednesday night against the Memphis
Grizzlies.


“It’s something I really wasn’t coming into the year saying I wanted to get
but it feels good to be a part of history and something I’m going to always
remember,” Durant said. “It feels even better to get 50 wins.”




Durant had the scoring title all but locked up after a late-season surge
that included three 40-point games in April. It became a certainty when
Cleveland decided to rest reigning MVP LeBron James(notes), the only player with even
an outside shot at catching Durant.


The 21-year-old finished with an average of 30.1 points, 0.4 ahead of James,
and supplanted 22-year-old Max Zaslofsky of the 1947-48 Chicago Stags as the
youngest scoring champ in NBA history.


“I love Kevin Durant. I love what he’s about,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks
said. “The guy is pretty amazing, that he’s able to handle himself at such a
young age.


“This is the only time I will say that he’s young. He’s 21 years old but he
handles himself with such class and respect for the game, and he’s a great
teammate.”


Oklahoma City strayed from the league-wide trend of resting stars, even with
nothing to gain but the momentum lost while dropping four of their previous five
games. James, the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant(notes), Miami’s Dwyane Wade(notes) and Boston’s “Big
Three” of Kevin Garnett(notes), Ray Allen(notes) and Paul Pierce(notes) all took to the bench to
finish the season. Even San Antonio—which had room to gain in the West
standings—played without Tim Duncan(notes) and Manu Ginobili(notes).


Durant joined three other Oklahoma City starters in playing all 82 games
this season, and he eclipsed 30 points for the 47th time this season.


“Thirty points is a monster game. My career-high was only 23 and that was
two games combined,” said Brooks, who actually once scored 23 in a single game.


“That’s the beauty of his game. He makes it look easy, and I think all the
great scorers do that. Kevin’s not just focused on scoring. … He does the
little things that helped us get the wins that we’ve gotten this year.”


After a 27-win improvement that’s one of the biggest in NBA history,
Oklahoma City will meet the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the first
round of the playoffs.


Rudy Gay(notes) scored 25 points and Zach Randolph(notes) had 21 points and 11 rebounds
for his 57th double-double of the season as the Grizzlies lost for the ninth
time in their final 11 games. Memphis had the second-biggest turnaround in the
league—increasing its win total by 16—but fell just shy of .500 at 40-42.


The teams started the season as the two youngest in the NBA.


“Every team in the West won 50 games to make the playoffs. We won 40,”
coach Lionel Hollins said. “So we’ve got some games to go to get up there to
where we need to be in order to be in the playoffs. But I’m happy with our
growth, I’m happy with the individual growth and it’s over now and we move
forward to next year.”


With Durant and the rest of the healthy starters in the lineup, the Thunder
seemed to be putting on a show in front of their 28th sellout crowd of the
season at the Ford Center—at least for a half.


Then Oklahoma City had to finish strong after letting a 27-point lead
dwindle to 97-91 in the final 7 minutes. Brooks finally pulled his starters with
under 2 minutes left after an 8-2 run sealed the victory.


The players walked onto the court and waved to the crowd in appreciation
after the final horn sounded.


“At this time, we were ready to go home last year and enjoy our summers. It
feels good to come here and be a winning program,” Durant said. “It was a huge
turnaround for us, especially since we kept everybody and just gained a couple
rookies. We didn’t make a big trade, we didn’t get two All-Stars or whatever.


“We kept everybody and we just continued to work.”


NOTES: Oklahoma City PG Russell Westbrook(notes), who had his first assist-free
game of the season on Monday night against Portland, also had zero in the first
quarter before racking up five in the final 6 minutes of the first half. … The
Thunder recalled C Byron Mullens(notes) and G Mustafa Shakur(notes) from the D-League prior to
the game, but only Mullens was on the active roster. … Oklahoma City sold out
its final 11 home games.
