The OKC Thunder handled business last night against the defending NBA Champion Golden State Warriors in another chapter of the Durant vs. Westbrook saga. Things got chippy during last night's game which saw the former teammates nose-to-nose in a heated exchange but according to Kevin Durant who spoke with reporters following the contest said that it's all being overblown. Durant contends that the exchange was purely basketball in nature and is something that shouldn't be highlighted considering the Warriors lost the contest 108-91. Durant stated:
We lost, they kicked our a**, they played a great game. You should give them credit for how they played, and we should be better. It's not about who was in each other's faces. That stuff is not real. So please don't believe it. All the fans, they lying to y'all. It's about basketball, and they played a great game and we didn't.
Westbrook finished the game with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists while his counterpart Kevin Durant chipped in 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists for the reigning champs.
