Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant thinks the reported locker room problems with the team this season were completely off base.
The Warriors took care of business against the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 6 on Friday night, which now sets up an intriguing showdown with James Harden and the Houston Rockets in the next round.
And Durant hasn't noticed any concerns in the locker room this season, despite plenty of reports about it from those in the media.
From Anthony Slater of The Athletic:
“Everything we do is high-profile,” Durant said. “And I don’t believe anything was ever wrong with our locker room. No offense to you two guys, but every time your (media) colleagues walk in here, they bring that toxic energy in here and they start writing about that energy because it’s how they feel.
“But when you’re actually in this locker room, there’s nothing going on in here. We just be chilling.”
It's clear that Durant isn't too worried about the off-the-court stuff, as he's been busy helping Golden State win games.
Of course, the matchup against the Rockets will not be easy, especially considering how well Harden and company have been playing.
The Warriors will certainly need to be at their best from a chemistry standpoint, and Durant's impressive play should give them an opportunity to have a shot at another NBA title.
