Kevin Durant And Mike Budenholzer Open Up On Heated Exchange During Game Against Clippers
Kevin Durant and Mike Budenholzer insist all is fine after they got into a heated exchange during Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.
Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant and head coach Mike Budenholzer downplayed their heated exchange during Tuesday’s 119-117 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Durant and Budenholzer engaged in an animated argument in the first quarter, but the former insisted postgame that all was fine and called out the media.
“That’s what usually happens when you don’t know the dynamics of a relationship,” Durant said. “You catch something on TV, you get a quote, and now you pushing that narrative as if me and Bud don’t do that s*** all the time
We competitive as two individuals who want to see things done the right way, and sometimes my way ain’t the way that Bud want to do it and vice versa,” Durant stated. “He allows me as a player on the team, a veteran on the team, to voice my opinion. If we both didn’t care, we would never have stuff like that.
“So, I’m glad that the win is going to sweep all of that stupid stuff under the rug because people couldn’t wait,” Durant added. “Even some people in Phoenix, in here, couldn’t wait to run with that and say, ‘This is the reason why the team ain’t playing well, because of that specific thing.’ But come on man, that shows that me and Bud really care about trying to right this ship and trying to win basketball games.”
