Kevin Durant scores 27 in return from injury

Kevin Durant reentered the Thunder lineup on Monday night in Utah and the Thunder, complete again, looked as dominant as we’ve seen them under coach Billy Donovan, blistering a solid Jazz team 111-89 for an impressive road win on the second night of a back-to-back.

In his return, Durant posted 11 first quarter points, had 18 by halftime and a game-high 27 at the end of the third quarter. And he did it with patented efficiency, making 10 of his 13 shots in encouraging fashion.
