Kevin Durant had arguably the biggest play of the game during last night's Golden State Warriors 122-114 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

With 46 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, Durant checked a white-hot Anthony Davis on the perimeter, and having terminated his dribble, Davis chose to shoot a three over his defender.

Durant didn't over-commit and swiped at the ball, blocking Davis' shot and taking it coast-to-coast over two defenders to carve an eight-point lead.

This is what head coach Steve Kerr and his staff had envisioned while pitching Durant to join them during free agency — a player just as talented defensively that can turn defense into offense at the blink of an eye.

Despite Davis' monstrous night with 45 points and 17 rebounds, Durant and the Warriors had the last laugh, coming away with the road victory.
