Kevin Durant said he must be "more poised" after getting ejected for the third time in the last 18 games during Monday night's 125-115 road victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center.
Nick Friedell of ESPN.com passed along comments from Durant, who felt the latest ejection was "pretty quick" after he got into an argument with Pelicans forward DeMarcus Cousins, about the recent run of getting kicked out of games.
"I got to be more focused, I got to be more poised," he said. "I can't let anybody take me off my game. I've been in the league too long. Especially somebody like Cousins, we know that he's feisty, we know that he's emotional. We know that he plays that way, so I can't get involved in that. That's who he is; I got to be me."
