Although Durant was regretful for his recent fouls, rookie Salah Mejri has a feeling the star small forward has a bone to pick with the Dallas rookie core.
“KD elbowed me last game and he just got a tech. I don't think the team got anything from that tech,” said Mejri on Game 3. “I don't know why he's coming after two rookies, you know?”
Mejri even goes even further to question the credibility of Durant's recent play style and actions on the court.
“Why doesn't he do this against other players? If he's got balls, then he has to do that,” added Mejri. “He knows that we tried to stay focused on the game and we are not about this hitting and doing these things.”
If the Mavs want to rally back to win their next three games, they will have to continue to stay focused to overcome this powerhouse team.
