Kevin Durant Responds to Dropping Three Straight Games to Timberwolves
Well, it looks like we're reaching the end of the season, folks.
Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Steph Curry have all been healthy this season for their age, but it seems likely that none of them will make it out of the first round.
In what appeared to be a passing of the torch game, Anthony Edwards owned Kevin Durant in the T-Wolves' 126-109 win over the Suns on Friday.
Ant scored 36 points, nine rebounds and five assists, while Durant scored 25 points, four rebounds and five assists.
Intuthane: “KD is my hero… thank you for everything…. now I will take your soul.”

Anthony Edwards doesn't ask or wait for the torch to be passed. He walked into Kevin Durant's house, grabbed that mf from the table and walked out the front door.

If the Sun sweeps, the contempt and narrative that Durant has never achieved anything since he left the Warriors.

Suns fans at the Footprint Center were openly whispering to their team about the show.
“Yes, of course, we hear everything,” Durant said. “They expect a lot from us, they pay their hard earned money and they deserve to react the way they want to react. So it's up to us as players to use it as fuel and hopefully it will fuel us in the next game.”
Edwards is well on his way to becoming a Wolves legend. He has already tied Kevin Garnett's record for most 30-point playoff games (seven) in Timberwolves history – in just 33 games.
“I just want to kill everything in front of me,” Edwards said during the interview.
Phoenix guard Bradley Beal doesn't want to go down without a fight.
“I've never been swept in my life, so I'll be damned if that happens,” Beal said.
Devin Booker added, “I'm kind of focused on the next game. So play by play, die by treatment. They say no one has done it before, that's exciting.”
