KD got booed in Phoenix and dropped 24 with 5 threes anyway.

Kevin Durant returned to Phoenix for the first time since being traded to the Rockets and put on a show. The crowd booed him from warmups through the final buzzer — and KD answered with 24 points on 5 three-pointers, leading Houston to a 119-105 victory and their seventh consecutive win.

The Rockets trailed by 21 points early, making this their largest comeback of the season. Houston's rally was methodical — they chipped away through the second and third quarters before pulling away in the fourth. KD's crossover that sent Dillon Brooks to the floor became the instant highlight of the night.

Seven straight wins makes Houston the hottest team in the league heading into the final week of the regular season. At 50-29, the Rockets are tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 4-seed in the West. Durant is averaging nearly 26 points per game since arriving in Houston, and the Rockets' system — which relieves pressure from KD by surrounding him with young talent — is clicking at the perfect time.
