They've been bad in close games lately.
Durant went into the crowd after a ball a few weeks before the All-Star break and tweaked his lower back some. Ever since then you see him favor it here and there, and he hasn't been near as aggressive since. Not that I want him to be until the playoffs.
I was glad to see some 4th quarter defense tonight on the road and Brooks sticking with a smaller lineup when it worked.
Great shot by Lawson after sucking all night though. Denver's a really solid team, but unfortunately it doesn't translate in the playoffs when the benches are shortened.
