It is also the ninth defeat in the last eleven games. After the game, Kevin Durant made some comments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00abThis point lose trying to figure it out as best as we can every single day. And we did some solid things every one of our games we played. So we just haven&#8217;t put together full game. So we should keep working. Keep grinding, man, keep grinding and we&#8217;ll figure this thing out\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00abSo I know people only look at me just to score and if I don&#8217;t get up shots, then I&#8217;m not effective. But it&#8217;s a little subtle stuff in the game that I think I believe that I help my teammates with, but I know my scoring is so loud that people only look at me as that type of player. But I feel like I still was able to help the offense out without shooting the ball and still be able to help the defense as well\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For Kevin Durant 16 points with 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 4\/11 from the field. Especially heavy are the turnovers, 6, which came after 7 with the Kings and 5 with the Blazers: &#8220;I got to be better.
