Kevin Durant on Grayson Allen opening things up on offense for him and the Suns: “It’s kinda like pick your poison. If you wanna double me on the catch, then we’re gonna get backside 3s, backside cuts” pic.twitter.com/KM1LuVtJtV – 12:30 AM

Raps lose 120-111 to Suns, but impressive effort. Survived Grayson Allen going 7/8 from 3 in 1Q & cut a 19-pt 2Q lead to 3 with 2:22 in 3rd. Battled to the end. KD was KD down the stretch & finished with 35. But IQ had 21 and a career-high 18 assists, GTJ had 30 and RJ had 23. – 11:27 PM

Raptors were over-helping early, daring anyone but KD/Beal to beat them, and they got burned. But credit to them for adjusting & fighting back. In the end, they were outmatched vs a better team – that’ll happen without Barnes/Poeltl – but a far more tolerable loss than Tuesday’s – 11:25 PM

Agbaji played pretty emotional after not getting a call on that dunk attempt earlier, very aggressive going to the basket twice. One resulted in a charge and the other free throw attempts. Now he picks up his 4th foul defending KD. – 10:45 PM

The Raptors’ 12 active players are making a combined $91.2 million this season. To put that into perspective, that’s nearly $40 million LESS than what Phoenix is paying Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. – 8:27 PM

Duane Rankin: Salmon. Grayson Allen pregame meal. It worked. 7 3s in 1st quarter for franchise record in quarter. Shot 8-of-12 from 3 in 1st half. Only took 2 shots in 2nd half, #Raptors hugged up on Allen in 2nd half, but Kevin Durant got 1-on-1 coverage. “Don’t leave him open.” #Suns pic.twitter.com/M6NC2Hk8Li -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / March 8, 2024

“I understand people are always going to question what I do, but if you’re not in the building with me watching how I prepare for this game, I don’t really care about your opinion,” Durant said. “My focus is on who I’m working with and who’s in the building. I can’t concern myself with what people say or think. I know people need s–t to talk about. I know what I bring to the game, and I’m going to keep working towards getting better and helping my team win games. All that other s–t doesn’t matter.” -via Bleacher Report / March 7, 2024
