Just.
"Swish!"
Irresistible shot made.
29 to 21
Durant's style of finding empty spaces is different from Zeng Xingyang's. Many times, he doesn't need an open space; he just needs to get into his rhythm.
After scoring, Durant shouted at Zeng Xingyang, "Rookie, you're too short!"
Although he didn't make any taunting gestures, he shouted it out loud.
After shouting, Durant turned and headed back.
Zeng Xingyang didn't have any mental shake-up but continued with his positioning.
Nelson dribbled across midcourt and continued to pass to Jokic.
Jokic tried to hand the ball to Zeng Xingyang but didn't succeed.
This play Durant bypassed Jokic, not giving Zeng Xingyang an opening.
Jokic couldn't pass the first time, so he dribbled over, forced Durant close, and then passed to Zeng Xingyang.
This was forcing Zeng Xingyang to play against Collison's mismatch.
Indeed, Jokic's idea worked. Zeng Xingyang and Collison had a one-on-one opportunity on the right side.
