“It’s hard to put to words.”

“Just the mentality. Being patient in trying to take what the defense gives me and stance on the defensive side. I do the little stuff and focus on the little stuff, usually my shot comes around.”

Kevin Durant says they want Jusuf Nurkic to play his full “game and said when he’s hitting 3s, the team goes to another level.
Nurkic goes for 18 points, going 2-of-4 on 3s, 12 rebounds in #Suns win over his former team. #Blazers. #RipCity pic.twitter.com/cg4fZNWe53 – 11:46 PM

The Slim Reaper claimed a soul with that crossover. My goodness – 10:48 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
There are many ways to tell how much KD loves basketball but in stints like this when the ball is popping he always wants to keep it moving. Passed up an open 3 there to get Little one and was pumped when it went in. – 10:47 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Ayton picks up first foul fouling Booker, who hits the deck. Booker FTs. Has 12 on 4-of-10 shooting.
#Suns up 56-51 at half as Durant stopped to talk to referee after feeling he got fouled on drive.
Held up 2 fingers, as if to say that’s happened twice.

Had that Durant shot gone after his move left Ayton falling to the floor, that’s going viral.
Durant missed, but it will get its share of views anyway.
Nurkic picks up 3rd guarding Ayton, called for offensive foul, but he was on the floor.
#Suns 50-45 with 2:32 left in half. – 10:01 PM

DeAndre Ayton having a nice little revenge game here in the first quarter in Phoenix ….problem is Kevin Durant is having an even bigger revenge game despite having never played for Portland…..lol why is KD exacting revenge on every team every night??? – 9:32 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
That plan was a screen for Ayton to catch on low block.
Scored after Durant stripped him on initial move.
#Suns up 18-11 as Ayton gets stripped again inside, leads to Gordon 3. #Blazers – 9:21 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Booker with 3 assists in less than five minutes. A nice kickahead into the open space Durant found, a KD two-man game in the corner and then a transition find to Allen where he made DA stop for a second with the threat of a pull-up 3. – 9:18 PM

Durant is in full score mode. Has nine already.
#Suns up 11-7. – 9:16 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
minor KD thing that has amused me is rookies who walk by his pregame warmup and take an extra few looks with a “yo that’s KD” you can see happening in their head – 8:02 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Still a long way to go, but Kevin Durant is putting up some historic numbers at age 35. We talked about that, DA’s return and a whole lot more on the latest @PHNX_Suns pod

Out running errands as Suns nor Blazers had scheduled shootaround this morning.
Who has any of these shirts of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, Steve Nash or Kyler Murray? #Suns #Cardinals pic.twitter.com/PiEyMTepBX – 1:21 PM
