After hanging a career-high 31 points and nearly springing an upset win over Phoenix, the Nuggets’ Bruce Brown couldn’t hide his excitement at his new keepsake.
PHOENIX – Kevin Durant’s black Suns jersey was folded up neatly inside the visiting locker room, bound inside a translucent plastic wrap.
“We” was Miami, which knocked off Durant’s Longhorns in the Elite Eight two weekends ago. On Thursday, Durant had a bet to settle with his former Nets teammate. “So when I was younger, CP, Rondo and Westbrook was like my guys growing up, so I made an emphasis to definitely get CP at some point,” he told The Denver Post.Ironically, it was Durant and Paul’s 13 combined 3-pointers that sunk Denver despite a valiant effort as all five Denver starters sat with various injuries. The Durant and Paul jerseys were the latest additions to Brown’s growing collection.
