After Oklahoma City's morning shootaround at American Airlines Center, Thunder star Kevin Durant bristled at any notion that Mavericks forward Shawn Marion is doing anything special to limit Durant's scoring.

"I'm not playing one-on-one," Durant said. "I could see if he was totally locking me up and I would get in the post and he would block my shots and steal the ball, but I'm not playing one-on-one.

"Every time I get the ball, it's one-on-two, one-on-three. And as you know as a little kid, you can't play like that. So I'm passing the basketball and trying to find open spots. He's a good defender, but, sorry, it's not just him."
