Rockets news: Kevin Durant joins historic company with big game vs. Clippers

The Houston Rockets have been one of the most exciting stories in the Western Conference this season, and a big reason for that has been the steady, lethal scoring of Kevin Durant.

On Tuesday night at the Toyota Center, fans witnessed more than just a regular-season clash against the Los Angeles Clippers; they saw history in the making. Durant officially recorded his 1,000th career game with 20 or more points, joining a list of names that basically serves as the Mount Rushmore of NBA buckets.

Most career games scoring 20+ points:

1,309 — LeBron James
1,134 — Karl Malone
1,122 — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
1,000 — KEVIN DURANT https://t.co/BSunqdhaNf pic.twitter.com/JwTD0ayr0U

Entering the night, Durant was just one game away from the four-digit milestone. He hit the mark with a signature mid-range jumper during a heated third quarter, cementing his place alongside LeBron James, Karl Malone, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

To put that in perspective, Durant is now one of only four players to ever touch that level of scoring consistency. James currently leads the pack with 1,309 such games, followed by Malone at 1,134 and Abdul-Jabbar at 1,122.
