Durant shouldered blame after the Houston Rockets' loss to the Lakers on Monday, stating emphatically, "I'm the offense," following a fourth-quarter stretch where the Lakers successfully implemented a steady diet of double-teams against him. Separately, off-court matters drew attention in Atlanta, where Hawks fans showed up in gear associated with the "Magic City" strip club, despite the NBA having officially nixed the team's planned, short-lived promotional tie-in earlier in the day.
