Led by their high-scoring duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the Golden State Warriors easily defeated the Phoenix Suns on Saturday, 138-109. The Suns just couldn't slow the Splash Brothers as Curry and Thompson combined to score 57 points on 20-for-37 shooting and a stellar 11-for-14 from 3-point range.

But while Curry and Thompson did the bulk of the scoring, the Warriors also got an excellent performance from Kevin Durant, who finished with 20 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Durant scoring 20 points may not seem that impressive, especially since he was below his average of 27.3, but it took him just seven shots to get there.

"He falls out bed and gets 20." Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of Durant's efficiency via the Mercury News' Anthony Slater.

Scoring in transition and on a number of post-ups, Durant shot 5-of-7 from the field and made his only 3-point attempt. Durant did a lot of his damage at the free throw line, making all nine of his attempts.

Durant's efficiency has been on full display this season. His scoring average is down slightly from when he was the focal point of the Thunder's offense last season but Durant is shooting a career-high 56.2 percent and 42.9 percent from 3.

"Phenomenal," Kerr said. "This guy is amazing. His efficiency is just off the charts."

Kerr wanted to get Durant more shots and was considering going to him in the third quarter. But after Durant passed to Thompson for a 3 in transition, assistant coach Mike Brown told Kerr not to worry about it because, "I don't even think he cares if he shoots."

"I think Kevin just takes so much joy in other people doing well," Kerr said. "He's so talented, he can get his points without even really having to try that hard. It just happens for him."

Always a talented scorer, Durant's efficient performance against the Suns is the perfect example of why he signed with the Warriors. Golden State's offensive system has a heavy focus on ball movement, and that allows Durant to get to his spots and take open shots. Defensively, Durant is making an impact as a pseudo-rim protector with a career-high 1.8 blocks per game.

Durant's game is flourishing in Golden State and his teammate Andre Iguodala believes Durant is the Warriors' MVP. With the efficient season Durant is having, it's hard to argue.
