Tony Allen’s Defense Fazing Kevin Durant

By his own admission, Kevin Durant has let Tony Allen into his head.

A few days ago, Durant became annoyed when it was suggested that Allen might be affecting him a little. The presumptive MVP defiantly said he was not being shut down. But some of the worst shooting games of his playoff career have brought some reflection and humility.

As he collected himself before Tuesday’s vital Game 5 in the tied Oklahoma City Thunder-Memphis Grizzlies mini-drama, Durant said he’s got to stop worrying about where Allen is — whether that be on Durant’s hip, behind his back or even in his face.
