After being bested by the number one overall Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors swept through the weekend with consecutive wins over the Philadelphia 76'ers and the Brooklyn Nets. However, it appears the former victory that may have been the more satisfying of the two. According to Kevin Durant, when it came to battling "The Process," it was about more than just basketball.
"We wanted to win this game really, really bad. And after being down by so much, and we didn't want to lose to these guys. Especially Joe. He would've went straight to Twitter and start talking s**t," Durant said following Golden State's 124-116 win on Saturday, November 18.
The Lakers were able to keep the scorching hot Joel Embiid to 21 points in the high stakes match-up. Before Dub Nation courting Embiid during a game against KD, Curry and the gang last week, he spoke on the excitement he has every time Philly comes around to play the Warriors. The Sixers' big man said that he specifically gets a thrill out of going up against Draymond Green, whose backside he said he was going to kick during a social media exchange that took place over the Summer.
