Warriors vs. Wolves: In defense of Kevin Durant

The Golden State Warriors will face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at 5 p.m. PST after a tough loss to the San Antonio Spurs last night.

As people tend to obsess over every step Kevin Durant takes, Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic addressed the matter of whether Durant’s isolations are taking away from the team’s offense.

James Harden leads the NBA in isolations per game with 16.8. John Wall, before he got hurt and knocked out for the season, was the next highest at 5.5 per game. Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul average 4.
