Durant stays aggressive but a shift is coming as the young players grow more aggressive.

“But still want him to be who he is, be aggressive and take what the game gives him... But as our young guys grow and improve and get better, it's kind of a shift you're going to have. And they're going to be more aggressive.”

Bridges is shooting threes in rhythm off the dribble and in catch-and-shoot as defenses key on Booker and Gillespie.

“You see a few go down, you're going to want to shoot a few more. And I'm in a good rhythm right now, off the dribble, catch and shoot. I'm not really forcing the threes either. They're coming to me organically with teams guarding Book, he's finding me, CG finding me.”
