Even as former teammates and being among the NBA\u2019s oldest players, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul couldn\u2019t help but jaw back and forth in their chippy exchanges Thursday night.<\/p>\n
In the first half of the Suns-Spurs clash, things got fiery between the pair, who teamed up for just eight games with Phoenix in 2023.<\/p>\n
It seems as though there wasn\u2019t much lasting chemistry built between them.<\/p>\n

As Phoenix attempted an entry pass into Durant in the post, San Antonio\u2019s Jeremy Sochan knocked the ball away and out of bounds.<\/p>\n
Durant must have heard some words from Paul, as he immediately turned around to the Spurs\u2019 point guard and began clapping and chattering in his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was heating up a little bit right around that time,\u201d Durant said. \u201cHe was just trying to get in my head, get me to react and get me out the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul pulled the newest Spur De\u2019Aaron Fox between the two, while Paul pointed directly back at Durant and had some words of his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\tKevin Durant has some words for the Spurs after Sochan buzzer beater to end the half \ud83d\udc40 pic.twitter.com\/nEXWLIrAiR\u2014 \ud835\udd7d\ud835\udd8a\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd91\ud835\udd8e\ud835\udd98\ud835\udd99 \ud83c\udfc0 (@SpursRealist) February 21, 2025 <\/p>\n
The officiating crew was having none of it and handed Paul and Durant each a technical foul.<\/p>\n
The fracas continued as the teams went to the locker room with Durant giving Sochan a shove, pointing in Paul\u2019s direction and continuing to jabber. He had to be held back by an assistant coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know he likes gimmicks,\u201d Durant said about Paul. \u201cHe\u2019ll try anything to win the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Win the game is exactly what Paul did as even without Victor Wembanyama due to his season-ending blood clot diagnosis, San Antonio went on to best Phoenix, 120-109.<\/p>\n
Paul finished with 13 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in the win, while Durant posted 22 points, five rebounds and two assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Suns currently sit in the 11th seed in the Western Conference, two games behind the Golden State Warriors for the last play-in tournament spot.<\/p>\n
The Spurs are one game behind Phoenix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
