Kevin Durant is a walking mismatch and a total nightmare to guard on a fast break.

He's proven that over the years it's just about an automatic score when you see him running down the lane towards you.

In that situation, you can expect him to score, or foul him and put him on the line. There are no other scenarios to expect, except Wednesday night.

Early in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers, Durant had that very opportunity. This time, he came up short as he tried to avoid the defender and dunk the ball.

The ball clanked off the rim and into the first row.

It happens to the best of them.
