But he was just the right match to go against Durant.
Like James, he could use his physique and strength to overpower Durant. Durant may have skill and speed, but neither was enough to shake off Artest.

Because the SuperSonics had a mature pick-and-roll system.
Durant returned to the perimeter.
Livingston then posted up Bibby beyond the three-point line.
