There is no denying that 13-time NBA All-Star Kevin Durant has a sense of humor, especially when he is online.
But he is also incredibly competitive and we saw that manifest yet again on Wednesday when the Suns defeated the Mavericks in a rivalry match between two teams that already have a history of beef with one another.
Many will remember this game because Dallas star Luka Doncic complained about a fan and asked for him to get ejected. Before that, however, Durant and teammate Jusuf Nurkic were involved in an altercation with Mavericks forward Grant Williams.

As part of the kerfuffle, players from the Mavericks and Suns had to get separated once tensions flared.
Fortunately, this led to nothing more than technical fouls issued to Durant as well as Nurkic and Williams. So fans were able to laugh about how silly this looked when it was all said and done.

Durant saw the mashup of his emotive response next to Armstrong’s and shared it on his Instagram story.
Bravo, KD. He handled this one like an absolute champion.
