Kevin Durant came up with a new defensive tactic against the pick-and-roll Friday.
New Orleans Pelicans rookie Karlo Matković set a screen on Durant before rolling to the hoop late in the first quarter of a matchup against the Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center. Suns center Mason Plumlee, who initially defended Matković, tagged the rookie big man with a slight shove in the lower back. The push sent Matković into Durant as the screen was set.
