With only 6 points at 1/9 shooting, including 0/5 from afar, Kevin Durant rounded off a complicated first half on the Detroit floor. Rather at the end of the line, the winger had difficulty finding his rhythm…

But Kevin Durant is still Kevin Durant, and he doesn’t need much time to get into his rhythm. Above all, as soon as he finds it, it becomes extremely complicated to stop him. Tobias Harris can attest to this, because the Pistons winger did not defend badly against the double MVP of the Finals, even countering him with 3-points in the “money-time”, but “KD” will respond to him with a superb “ turnaround” to allow the Suns to enter the final minute with a four-point lead. And to move towards a fifth victory in six games.

“We found certain things, on the spacing of the field and the passing, which helped us tonight” assured Mike Budenholzer. “It was better. And then Kevin… He just made incredible, ridiculous shots. But I think with the guys around him, and Devin, the spacing was a little better as well.”

The Suns especially found Kevin Durant, author of a second half with 30 points at 12/18 shooting!

The Arizona winger thus completes this complicated victory with 36 points on 13/27 shooting including 2/8 behind the 3-point line, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 interceptions and 3 blocks.
