Durant has jumped out to an early lead but I've paused my feed to just capture watching Lewis so far.  He had 1 possession around the 5:30 Q1 mark where he was a wizard with the ball on a string dribbling in a manner most players can't do.  Defensively he let his man step right in front of him and box him out, but the rebound went elsewhere.  When his man had the ball he got by easily for an open pull up.  On another play it occurred to him he wasn't near his defensive assignment and had to hustle from under the basket to the arc where his man had spotted up.  At the 3:50 mark a pass to him was intercepted and he didn't chase the play.  The layup was missed and an opponent who had chased the play put the ball in.  At the minute mark he intercepted a pass went the length of the court for the 'and one'.  The last possession of q1 he backed up the court with a defender on him.  Billy Packer would have died again for a carry call.  His hand was completely under the ball on each dribble.  I'm not making these observations to be critical because many of these things can be coached if the raw material is there.

I should also say that in each game I have seen his calf has been bandaged.  I have no idea if he is hampered by injury.
