Lebron Bests Durant.

The last time Kevin Durant and LeBron James squared off in South Beach the Thunder dominated the defending champions on their home court 112-95.  Kevin Durant was unstoppable for most of the evening and OKC walked out of Miami looking like the best team in the NBA. 

The Thunder have won 15 of their last 17 games without Russell Westbrook.  At this point Kevin Durant is probably the league MVP.

LeBron's main focus is winning a third consecutive championship.  Michael Jordan was in a similar situation during his championship years in the 90's.  If LeBron was a selfish individual he could be voted MVP every year.  Someone would literally have to pry the award from him.

LeBron  came into tonight's game looking to make a statement.  A statement was certainly made tonight.  LeBron made a clear announcement to the rest of the NBA leaving the game battered and bruised.  LeBron is still the guy and that wont change until someone takes it away from him. 

Kevin Durant is a great player and certainly having a great season.  However Kevin didn't seem to have that edge tonight.  If this is going to be OKC's year Kevin has to play better in big games.

OKC could have used James Harden tonight.
