Kevin Durant scored 24 points with 5 triples in his return to Phoenix

This one had "statement win" written all over it. Down 21 points early in Phoenix — KD's old stomping grounds — the Rockets looked cooked. Then Kevin Durant decided he wasn't losing in that building.

Durant finished with 24 points on 5-of-8 from three, including a step-back over Dillon Brooks that sent Brooks sliding across the floor. The Rockets outscored the Suns 74-39 over the final two-and-a-half quarters to flip a 21-point deficit into a 119-105 blowout. It's Houston's 7th straight win, their longest streak of the season.

The Rockets are now tied with the Lakers for the 4-5 seeds in the West, with Houston holding the momentum and LA falling apart due to injuries. If the Rockets keep this up, they could be the team nobody wants to see in the first round.
