SALT LAKE CITY — When asked if he struggled from the field before the fourth quarter against the Utah Jazz, Kevin Durant politely disagreed.
“I felt like I was right in range of that fine line of going off and hitting three or four in a row, or missing three or four in a row,” Durant said.
Following a 94-90 win for the Thunder, the team’s fourth-consecutive victory, Durant sat at his visitor’s locker with both knees wrapped in ice, up to his ankles in ice water as well. He wasn’t combative about his 4-of-10 shooting, 0-of-5 from the 3-point line entering the fourth, but it was clear his biggest shots on Friday night came in the final stretch against the Jazz.
