Off The Court With Kevin Durant!

Talk about Monday’s game and playing the Mavericks.

It was good to get back home and feed off their energy. The Mavericks are really good and always push us to get over the top. We owe them a lot of credit. We have to just keep taking care of home. Hopefully we’ll do it next game.

Based on Monday night’s game you were able to sit out a good portion of it and get some rest. How did it feel?

It was good to get the win. We don’t focus on trying to save ourselves. We just try to play a good game. The Mavericks play us tough every single time we play. This is the first time in a long time that we won by double digits. We just wanted to come out and play a good game and everyone did that from top to bottom.

As good as Russell Westbrook was Monday night, it seemed his demeanor was particularly good. Did you see something special from him?

He came out and did his job, making shots, penetrating, playing defense and getting steals. He was swarming on the ball. He was doing everything for us. That was the regular Russ. That’s what we expect from him every single day.

You were injured at the end of the Cleveland game. How were you able to come out Monday night and shake that off and come out and perform?

Just play. At the end of the Cleveland game I was hurting. Adrenaline takes over. I try not to focus on it. If you think about it too much then it will really start to hurt. I just try to take my mind off it and just play the game. Monday night I tried to do the same, not avoid contact and just play the game. My trainers do a great job just trying to get me ready throughout the whole day. I just need to take care of it and keep getting better over the next few days.
