After a loss to the San Antonio Spurs: (January 4, 2014)

“In the first half we looked more AAU. The ball stuck. I bet half the time it was one pass, shot; one pass, shot.”

“I just try and play hard. That’s the one thing — even if everything is going wrong, you can still run hard, chase somebody down, get a block, get a steal … get an offensive rebound. Those are things you can do whether you’re having a good night or a bad night.”

PTRW #683 KEVIN DURANT

“Once we move the ball, everybody touches it, we’re a pretty good team. Once (the ball) gets sticky and try to play one-on-one, that’s when we kind of struggle.”
