Happy birthday, KD: Durant's top 5 buzzer-beaters
Thursday was Kevin Durant's 28th birthday. No word if the new member of the Golden State Warriors got a card from Russell Westbrook, but in its possible absence, here are KD's top five buzzer-beaters.
5. Sinks Raptors in double OT, 2014
Technically not a buzzer-beater, but noteworthy because the game-winner gave Durant a season-high 51 points in his only MVP season to date.

How about the yellow on the Thunder home court? Whatever happened to that?
2. Beats Mavs, 2011
This came in the Thunder's second home game of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 campaign, seven months after the Dallas Mavericks had knocked them out of the playoffs.
