Suns' Kevin Durant: Solid line in defeat

Durant logged 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and a blocked shot across 31 minutes in Thursday's 128-122 loss to the Lakers.

Durant led the team in rebounds and assists, showcasing his ability to get the ball to his fellow playmakers. Durant isn't getting any younger, so his assist total will be something to watch as the regular season resumes. The category could prove to be a substantial benefit to his bottom line. He averaged five assists per game last season.
