"Trash A** Miss Wolf" - Kevin Durant Visibly Frustrated After Nets Forward’s Open Triple Airball Smacks Him in Face Mid-Game

Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets opened a two-game road trek in Brooklyn on Thursday. Late in the second quarter against the Nets, the former MVP jostled with Nic Claxton in the paint for a potential rebound. KD won the positioning battle but could not catch the ball after Danny Wolf badly missed a 3-point attempt.

Durant was smacked in the face after the ball bounced off the backboard. He mouthed this after the Nets got another possession:

“Trash a** miss, Wolf.”

This season, Wolf is shooting 36.7% from deep. However, his efficiency dropped in December, averaging 33.3% from that 3-point distance. He opened the New Year with a 1-for-4 clip from behind the arc, including a miss that caught Durant off guard.

Wolf wasn’t the only Net to consistently miss from behind the arc. Brooklyn went 10-for-30 (33%) from that distance while Kevin Durant and Co. finished with a 12-for-29 (41%) clip.

For the season, the Nets are shooting 34.6%, tied with the LA Lakers for 25th in the NBA. Durant and his teammates are making 40.0% of their 3-point shots, second in the league.

Danny Wolf shot 33.6% in college, leading scouts to project that he would become a stretch big in the NBA. Wolf got off to a sizzling start, shooting 50% from deep in November. With teams adjusting to his floor-spacing game, he has since shot 33.3%.

Wolf’s viral miss bounced off a player considered to be one of the best 3-point shooters in the NBA. Kevin Durant has a career 39.1% efficiency from long range. He is hitting a sizzling 43.7% from that distance this season, his first with the Rockets.
