Durant scored 25 of his game-high 41 points in the fourth quarter
Kevin Durant scored 25 of his game-high 41 points in the fourth quarter Friday night as the Golden State Warriors ended the game on a 42-9 run to complete a furious rally to beat the host New York Knicks, 128-100.
The two-time defending NBA champion Warriors have won five of six to open the season. Stephen Curry scored 29 points for Golden State while Draymond Green (18 points) and Klay Thompson (12 points) also scored in double digits.
The Knicks have lost five straight since a season-opening win, though they have fallen to contenders such as Golden State, the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks.
Tim Hardaway Jr. led New York with 24 points while Frank Ntilikina had 17 points. Trey Burke added 15 points, and Damyean Dotson finished with 12 points.
Jrue Holiday scored five of his game-high 26 points in the final 22 seconds as host New Orleans rallied against Brooklyn to stay undefeated.
Holiday, who was coming off a 2-for-15 shooting performance, made two free throws to pull the Pelicans within 115-114 with 21.9 seconds left. With the shot clock turned off, New Orleans didn't foul, and D'Angelo Russell threw the ball out of bounds with 7.5 seconds remaining. Russell led Brooklyn with 24 points, Caris LeVert scored 21 and Shabazz Napier had 16.
Khris Middleton and Ersan Ilyasova scored 16 points apiece as visiting Milwaukee improved to 5-0 by pounding Minnesota.
Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists for Milwaukee. Malcolm Brogdon scored 13 points, Brook Lopez added 11 and John Henson collected 12 rebounds for the Bucks. Milwaukee is two wins shy of matching the franchise-best 7-0 start from 1971-72.
Karl-Anthony Towns scored 16 points, and Derrick Rose added 14 for the Timberwolves, who lost their second straight game. Jimmy Butler had just four points on 2-of-11 shooting for Minnesota, which was booed off the court at halftime after its poor play over the first 24 minutes.
Kyle Lowry had 20 points and 12 assists to record his fourth straight double-double as Toronto defeated visiting Dallas on Friday night.
Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Raptors, who have won their first six games of the season for the first time in franchise history. They won their first five to open the 2015-16 season.
The Raptors also have won their first five home games of the season to match the club record previously accomplished in 2014-15 and 2003-04.
Montrezl Harrell scored a career-high 30 points, Lou Williams chipped in 23 and visiting Los Angeles rolled to a lopsided win over Houston.
