"He's a master at what he does, I've been saying that ever since he came into the league," Durant told reporters postgame. "Just a crafty player who can pretty much do anything off the ball, can cut to the rim, shoot floaters, shoot 3s and can handle the basketball too and get down to his spot.
"I've been there. He put in a ton of work, he cares about the game, loves his teammates, plays with energy. That's what you get every night as a player like that, playing at All-Star, MVP, Hall of Fame level. You gotta respect it."
Durant was teammates with Curry for three seasons, winning back-to-back championships along the way.
