Kevin Durant passes Michael Jordan for No 5 on NBA scoring list in Rockets’ win

HOUSTON (AP) — On the night Kevin Durant passed Michael Jordan for fifth on the NBA’s career scoring list, the 37-year-old star was already looking ahead.

“Four more to go,” he said with a smile.

Durant scored 27 points in Houston’s win over the Miami Heat on Saturday night to move past Jordan.

Durant, who was the second overall pick in the 2007 draft, had 21 points entering the fourth quarter and made a 3-pointer with less than five minutes left to inch close to passing Jordan.
