Kevin Durant reunited with one of his college friends, Shabana, when she appeared courtside in a Houston game.

But Nuggets head coach David Adelman will be trying his best to make the night a bit tougher for Durant as Denver faces off against Houston for the second time this season––and his key to making that happen centers on one pivotal priority on the defensive end: keeping attention on him at all times.

Kevin Durant, who finished with 25 points, said he didn’t get to see the foul on Thompson because he was guarding the inbounder and never got a good look at the replay, but he was more judicious about the officiating than his coach. “It’s unfortunate, you know,” Durant said. “The refs can’t get every play right.”

Durant contributed 25 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and one steal in 44 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Moreover, Flagg tied Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards for the fourth-highest scoring performance by a teenager, according to a story from ESPN. Edwards scored 42 points twice in 2021, while Durant did the same in 2008.

His trainer, Dash Lovell, spoke with long-time insider Mark Medina about Durant’s approach heading into the season. Immediately after the trade, Durant got in the film room to watch extensive game tape on Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun, according to Lovell.

Kevin did not deny that, as the Warriors inched closer to a championship, he feared the media dragging him amid their celebrations. Adding to it was the fact that the Nets were swept in the first round of the 2022 playoffs. But Durant had nothing but love for his former teammates.
