KD Ready to Bounce Back Against the Rockets

Published by admin in Blog, News on November 6th, 2009 | 0

Kevin Durant wasn’t too happy after the the Thunder’s disappointing loss to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. He felt like he let is team down by going 0-5 in the fourth quarter and overtime. Darnell Mayberry of NewsOK.com covered some of KD’s disappointment today:

It wasn’t until Thursday morning that Durant recuperated from the repulsive feeling of what he later realized was the toughest loss of his young career.

“I had the game in my hands twice — and I didn’t come through,” said a more talkative Durant on Thursday, after also being tightlipped to reporters following the game. “But people told me that great players have a short memory. So that’s what I have to learn how to do.”

KD is only a third year player and is still coming into his own on a very young team. There will be growing pains, but with Kevin’s determination and talent, OKC Thunder fans won’t have too much to worry about. As well, Kevin might not have finished the game on a high note, but there is no way the Thunder are in that game without his 20 point first half performance.

The Thunder will look to bounce back against the Rockets tonight in Houston.
