Rockets have learned a Kevin Durant lesson the Suns unfortunately ignored
Though there are some who question if Kevin Durant is shooting enough, the Houston Rockets have cracked a code the Phoenix Suns were never able to. Houston is still featuring Durant in a prominent role on both ends of the floor, but has surrounded him with talent and a system that allow him to pace himself through regular season games.
Unfortunately, the Suns' strategy wasn't quite as friendly, as they positioned Durant to carry an unsustainable work load on both ends of the floor. Though Houston did the same in 2025-26, they've done what Phoenix refused to: Learned from their mistakes.
