KD-fense: How Kevin Durant is getting a reputation for his defense

There was a moment Wednesday night when Kevin Durant relished what he had just done ... and it had nothing to do with his sterling offense which is producing, producing, producing at age 34. Brian Lewis describes the sequence:

He blocked a shot by Dejounte Murray, then chased down the loose ball and dove into the stands, deflecting it off a Hawk to force a turnover.

Asked about it, he burst into a Cheshire cat grin.

“I was more fired up about that I was able to save it,” Durant said after the Nets’ 108-107 win over the Hawks.
