PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns took care of business Friday night, disposing of the Golden State Warriors 130-105. Kevin Durant had a quiet night for his standards on the court, with 19 points and six rebounds. However, the most exciting action from the 15-time All-Star was what he was saying to someone off the court.
Hall of Famer Gary Payton was courtside to watch his son, Gary Payton II, play on the Warriors when he got into a war of words with Durant, which you can see below.
“By the time you was my age you was the 8th man on the bench.”
– KD to Gary Payton
