Vogel is a defensive-minded coach with a successful track record that includes an NBA title and two trips to the Eastern Conference Finals as the Indiana Pacers’ coach.
"The No. 1 habit that we develop all year is that we have to play harder and tougher and with more hustle than our opponents every night," Vogel said. "Because if you develop that habit over 82 games, boy when you get to come playoff time, you know when every team’s trying to ratchet it up it’s already going to be there for us."Booker and Durant are still two of the leagues best scorers and the franchise is two years removed from a trip to the NBA Finals.
"We’re very close," Vogel said. "A lot of things have to go our way. You need a lot of luck and you need some breaks along the way, but I feel like the foundation is in place. We’ve got to just make some moves around the edges."
