In a recent interview with ESPN, KD decided to be honest about questions on how the team kept themselves from ?exploding?.

He further added, ?I think coming into the training camp, we understood that it’s going to be a lot on us from a media standpoint, from just the noise in general around our team, so I think that made us tighter once camp started.

The two-time NBA Champion further mentioned how once they started to win games they were gliding through the league. Kyrie Irving has thrown his controversies in the trash can, rising up to his standards in all the games he has played.
