New Delhi, 6 December (Daily Kiran) – Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant scored 28 points against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, becoming the eighth player in NBA history to reach 31,000 career points. The Rockets won the match 117-98.
Durant achieved this milestone against his former team, the Suns.
