Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns are officially in the danger zone after falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-109 on Friday night. They now find themselves on the verge of getting swept out of the NBA Playoffs.
In the closing moments of Game 3, NBA superstar Anthony Edwards smelled the blood in the water and started taunting Durant and the Suns.

Moves like that could potentially lead to a chippy Game 4 atmosphere, but it sounds like the Suns aren’t overreacting to Edwards’ behavior. In fact, KD supports it.
Durant told reporters on Saturday that a player is allowed to do whatever he or she wants as long as they win the game.
“You win the game, do whatever you want,” Durant told reporters .
That’s spoken like an NBA veteran. But make no mistake: The Suns will take Edwards’ actions personally. Whatever bulletin board material they can muster up, they’ll use.
The Suns will try and avoid the sweep and elimination on Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET on TNT.
