Kevin Durant hails Oklahoma City Thunder resilience

Kevin Durant has described the Oklahoma City Thunder as "resilient" following their 98-95 win over the Portland Trail Blazers last night.

The league's leading points scorer led the team with 36, but it was a late three-pointer from Jeremy Lamb that clinched the win for the Western Conference leaders.

The forward told reporters: "We respect this team and they respect us, but we don't like them and they don't like us. Point blank.

"We fought hard. We're a resilient team. We've kept our heads up through adversity and tough times. I'm proud of our team."

The Thunder face the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow.
