Durant on how quickly Fisher and Brewer have blended in as teammates: “Fish, it feels like he never left (after being with the team last season). Ronnie, it feels like he's been here the whole year. That's the best part about it. They fit in so well. They don't have any egos. They're humble guys and they just want to play, so it's a blessing having them on our team.”
