I was playing that big-man role, so a lot of pick-and-rolls with him.”That made it all the sweeter when, in Game 2, Durant took Brown off the dribble to the right late in the fourth quarter, pulled up for a jumper and watched — surprised, in all likelihood — as Brown stretched his fingertips high enough to deflect the shot off course.“That was my first time ever blocking his shot,” Brown said. “I used to try really h...
