Warriors forward Kevin Durant on Wednesday became the second-youngest player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points.
Durant reached the milestone by scoring 25 points in the first half against the Clippers in Oakland, Calif. His 24th and 25th points came just before halftime, as he crossed up Montrezl Harrell for the step-back jumper.

Durant is also the fifth player to reach 20,000 points before turning 30. He joins LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan in that group. Only James reached 20,000 points at a younger age.

"Man, that's some great company, and there's so many names I never thought I'd be in the same conversation with," Durant told ESPN before Wednesday's game. "But to know — to have it in numbers, in black and white — to know that you belong in that group is pretty special to me."
The Warriors led 62-58 at halftime.
