Suns superstar Kevin Durant went left, just like Bruce Brown said he would.
Midway through the fourth quarter of Denver’s Game 1 rout of Phoenix, Brown, a teammate of Durant’s in Brooklyn, was caught on an island against one of the most lethal scorers in the NBA. But Brown took contact, sat on his dribble, and picked his pocket clean. That transition chance was short-circuited when Chris Paul, perhaps out of frustration, shouldered Jamal Murray to the ground.
Beginning with Monday’s Game 2, expect more bodies and more contact thrown in Durant’s direction. For the most part, the recipe, which the Clippers didn’t have the personnel to execute in the first-round series against Phoenix, worked. “That’s not somebody that you stop,” rugged Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon said of Durant, his primary defensive assignment. Durant’s ability to create space and elevate for his shot is just something the Nuggets have to live with as the series progresses, Gordon said.
