Kevin discusses the process involved with the Phoenix Suns this season

After making noise in the offseason following the landing of Bradley Beal on the team, the results have not been the best so far this season.

Monday night's Christmas game saw the Suns lose to the Dallas Mavericks. Kevin Durant discussed the process to make everything work in the team during a stressful stretch, per Azcentral's Duane Rankin.

"We're trying to figure out as best as we can every single day," Durant said. "We did some solid things ... so we just have to put together a full game ... we just keep working, keep grinding, man, we going to figure this thing out.

In their last ten games, the Suns have only secured three victories.

Be that as it may, the team will need to figure things out as soon as possible, considering that they belong to a competitive Western Conference.
