Kevin Durant Praises Celtics Strategy vs Suns | Postgame Interview

Win able to have that of how much was it tonight just feeling like you felt like you had to do do whatever was necessary for your goam uh yeah I mean just feel like every game we all got to do as necessary each game may be different

Especially when one of our main players out so gotta be prep for any role we may step into um so I just try to tackle those challenges as best as I can and I was ready to make some Shots tonight you know I know there were TR

Trying to get guys involved early that might have there to you over over passing how would you try to find that balance of find a guy but then look to your point yeah uh I think I had a turnover early in the game trying to make an interior pass and and I realized

I’ve been doing that lately trying to make interior passes when I’m already in my spots to shoot um so some of them you just got to shoot them and I think a couple turnovers I had was in transition we just I should have slowed down a bit

And wait for my teammates to set up uh you know so just I was just wanted to be aggressive regardless of it all and play through anything and was able to uh knock some shots down and loosen the defense up I think we were just right

There so many times you know they made big plays coming out of each timeout they made and made through bre got fouled um when we try to close the gap so you got to get them credit I think there you feel like after that I think they made a three wide open

Three in the corner I think Horford made a three in the corner and that’s always a back breaker um I think it was a miscommunication or maybe a switch and we had to help and and they swung swung and that’s what this team could do to

You 39 threes they get up 40 to 50 threes a night you know so and they stay home a lot on threes as well so you gotta um figure out where your shots going to come from if you can’t just catch and shoot you know so um they got

A solid strategy over there and it’s one of those one of those um strategies where it might be you might be playing they might be playing a bad game early on but as course of the game it’ll come back around for him and I think that’s

What happened and late in the game they was able to make some shots yeah I mean when our Shooters can get up um six for Roy seven for me four for Grayson I mean wish Grayson we we have got Grayson more looks um five for Brad three for Dr I

Mean we could we definitely could get up 10 more 11 more threes up I think I that one I turned over at the end when Jaylen Brown knocked it out my hand I probably should have shot a three there um but I like this I like some of the looks

That that we got need to get 43 I mean that’s just kind of like the number I’m sure every team is emphasizing that it’s hard to get that many threes up you got to get stops for one and you got to get out and transition as well to get them up and

You got to penetrate break the paint you know so it’s tough to get 43s up but like you look at the numbers of most of the good teams or any team that wins on any given night they usually get up a lot of threes yeah I mean we shot 50% from the

Field um I think we slowed down and uh uh try to find out what our matchup was and attacked that way and we was able to get some good looks we had 14 turns but I had six of them so everybody else is pretty good um we forced them to 12 turnovers

So I don’t really think the turnovers killed us as much but they made six more threes than us and outrebounded us well not about not that many I mean I think the three-point lines really would beat us look at close to to being back how

Much is it going to be good to get him back yeah I mean another guy that can create for himself and create for others and um phenomenal leader somebody that we look to all game you know so I’m excited to get him back you know but we

Definitely don’t want to rush him back because it’s an important part of the season and we need him healthy as possible so you know we could buy a couple more hours a couple more days for him to get right you know we definitely uh could do

That but we we we miss him out on the floor Kevin you got these guys again next week and I think the second hardest remain sched by wi percentage like how in games like these like kind you up for the playoff yeah I mean it’s good tune

Though for us when you playing against teams that you’re gonna see in those uh in the playoffs you know and and they going to play with high intensity every night so uh it’s good for us to get that warm up before or playoffs you know so

Um I wouldn’t want any other way as far as grinding against teams that are fighting for spots I think the games would be better thanks than

PHOENIX — The NBA-leading Boston Celtics defeated the Phoenix Suns 117-107 on Saturday night. Despite missing injured All-Star Devin Booker, the Suns were led by Kevin Durant’s season-high 45 points on 18-for-26 shooting. Bradley Beal contributed 25 points, while Jusuf Nurkic added 11 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Durant commented on the Celtics’ strategy, saying, “They got a solid strategy over there, and it’s one of those strategies where they might be playing a bad game early on, but as the course of the game goes on, it’ll come back around for them, and I think that’s what happened late in the game.”
