The Warriors produced an impressive comeback to secure a 116-110 win over Orlando Magic.
Small forward Durant bagged 49 although the 30-year-old wasn’t content with his hefty haul.
“I still missed 17 shots,” Durant told ESPN.
“Tricked off a 50 piece.
“I felt like I had some shots that I wish I could have made last game and this game…
“So I wish I could have made more shots and I’m pretty sure all my teammates felt that way.”
Despite Durant’s surprise claim, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was quick to praise the influential ace.
“Incredible,” Kerr said.
“The guy is just amazing. He’s so talented.
“I think the last few games he just kind of knew he had to put us on his shoulders because of the four-game losing streak, the struggles.”
Durant is now just the seventh player in Warriors history to score at least 40 in two straight games.
The absence of Steph Curry and Draymond Green has put increased pressure on him.
Durant has admitted it is difficult without the duo but is trying to do his best.
“It’s not comfortable playing without them,” Durant explained.
“They bring too much to the table to say that.
“But we’re just trying to figure out ways to be effective, each one of us on the court, when we’re on the court.
“I think Coach has been trying to do a good job of mixing and matching the lineups and putting guys in position to be successful individually.
“And we’re trying to rely on our defence more so than anything when we got – we’re missing 30 points from Steph and any given night.
“You don’t know where it’s going to come from.
“You got to play more of a cerebral game without one of your best scorers.
“And then Draymond adds such a … he brings such a unique approach to the game with his defence, switching everything, roaming around.
“But also the extra passing, and [grabbing] the rebound and pushing the pace. I think more so than anything we just try to rely on defence, and offense we figure it out, but it’s never comfortable without those two.”
