More than veteran Chris Paul or All-Star Devin Booker, Durant has grabbed their attention as they prepare for the best-of-seven series that begins Sunday night in Phoenix.
“That’s just really it,” Terance Mann said. “They have Kevin Durant, so it’s not just any trio. You’ve got one of the best scorers of all time out there that you’ve got to worry about now. It’s going to be a completely different game plan from when we played them in the past.The fourth-seeded Suns acquired Durant in a trade deadline swap with the Brooklyn Nets, but he didn’t make his debut until March 1 because of a right knee injury.
Durant’s shot-making comes in the flow of the offense; he doesn’t force shots or shoot the ball to draw fouls. His presence also has enabled other players, such as Paul, to find open looks and causes defenses to make difficult decisions that don’t always succeed. Boston Jr., however, is not Durant and cannot mirror the same offensive challenges that the 13-time All-Star presents.
