November 6th NBA regular season news, the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies 124-109. Durant played 34 minutes in this game, making 5 of 18 shots, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, with a plus-minus value of +20. After the game, Uduka was interviewed and talked about Durant's performance.

Reporter: "You mentioned before the game that you had to adapt to the defensive attention KD received in the half-court offense. I remember you had 9 turnovers in the first half. Do you think the team adjusted better in this regard in the second half?"

Uduka: "Yes, we solved this problem and only committed three or four turnovers in the second half. But overall, our offensive position is not ideal enough and our running positions are not fully in place. This situation will happen throughout the season. Now, sometimes KD will be used as a bait, and other players can score from the opportunities he creates. When you see our players scoring 28 points, 20 points, 16 points, and even 4 of 8 three-pointers, it is all because of the opportunities brought by the opponent using two or three people to double-team KD.
