*set career-highs in points, rebounds, and made field goals/had first career double-double*
(via Phoenix Suns):
Amanda Pflugrad: “It was a career-night for the rookie Ryan Dunn. A new career-high in points with 18. A new career-high in rebounds with 11. He also recorded his first NBA double-double. How are you seeing him tap into his potential?”
Durant: “The growth is happening pretty quickly. He’s getting more and more comfortable every time he’s out there. Offensively, he’s just doing more. He’s feeling like he can do more out there off the dribble, playing in the pocket, playing under the rim. He’s playing well right now, so we gotta keep building him up, keep supporting him, and hopefully this becomes a norm for him.”
