Oh No He Didn’t: Shams: “The stakes are high, unless there’s a significant run here into the playoffs for the Phoenix Suns, league sources believe that there will be real changes in Phoenix coming to the Suns. From a roster standpoint, that likely starts with Kevin Durant” 👀

More from Kevin Durant on the loss: “We ain’t playin’ well. Mistakes are compounding themselves, and it just looks bad. When adversity hit, we just start floating a little bit as a team. That’s tough to deal with. So it’s frustrating for sure, losing a game that way.” pic.x.com/0XD0uMlQYU – 1:30 AM

Swing-swing pass and both Booker and Durant are staring at DiVincenzo take a wide-open 3. Then another live-ball turnover. Wolves up 10. – 11:18 PM

Really good start defensively flipping the matchups (KD on Reid, C on Randle) and giving up the right type of 3s. Minnesota not great about rim pressure and was OK bombing away. But then three straight turnovers for Booker washes that away. – 10:03 PM
