The longer Kevin Durant spoke after Monday's practice, the bigger his smile got. The nine-minute interview session seemed cathartic for the three-time NBA scoring champ as he explained what's gone wrong in the Thunder's disappointing 1-2 start.
What was missing in Sunday night's 104-95 loss at home against Atlanta?
Effort. It's as simple as that. We've got to bring more on the defensive end. On the offensive end, I know I have to be more aggressive, strong and quicker and just do everything I can to help my team passing, rebounding and scoring. On defense, we all have to be on the same page.
Coach Scott Brooks has thrown a lot of different lineup rotations at you. Has that thrown you guys off?
