They are averaging 318 passes per game during the streak, 20 more than their first six games, according to NBA SportsVU Player Tracking Data, which has opened up a lot of good looks.Finding their groove with Kevin DurantMany chalked up the Dubs early losses to difficulty adjusting to Durant, but he has had little problem fitting in during the winning streak.
