It is almost impossible to successfully defend Kevin Durant. Even at 35 years old, the superstar forward has one of the most advanced scoring arsenals in the league, a near 7-footer with deep range and soft touch on his jumper who can shoot over defenders with a hesi pull-up jimbo whenever he wants.
Alex Caruso drew the assignment against Durant when the Chicago Bulls hosted the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. The Suns came away with a 116-115 victory, but Caruso made them sweat for it. Chicago’s defensive ace ferociously guarded Durant throughout the entire night despite giving up at least six inches in size, and he made so many remarkable plays to keep the Bulls in the game all night.
