... Neil Paine of Basketball-Reference.com: “Durant has improved in virtually every offensive phase of the game… He’s shooting better, passing better, taking better care of the ball, rebounding better, and getting to the line more often (even as he’s more than doubled the % of his shots that come from beyond the arc). Defensively, the Thunder have been worse under Brooks than P.J., but Durant’s still very young, meaning he has time to get stronger and smarter at that end.

Other than that, it was 42, 30 and 31 points surrendered in the first, second and fourth quarters, respectively. All told, the Timberpups scored 129 points on 52 percent shooting while chokeslamming the Thunder on the boards 57-38. Oh, and the Klahma's only scored 87 points on 39 percent shooting themselves, thanks in part to the fact that Neil Paine stat cursed Kevin Durant into a miserable 3-for-13 shooting night in which he ...
