The Phoenix Suns kicked off the season with a win against the Los Angeles Clippers, and their winning momentum has begun to continue as they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers’ on Monday’s regular season game. The two teams met once again this season. The Lakers had previously triumphed in their earlier encounter, but this time, Kevin Durant’s Suns came out on top.
Durant’s determination to win was evident throughout the game. His frustration peaked when he delivered an airball that didn’t sit well with him. Immediately after the shot, Durant approached the referee, insisting that Davis had tipped the ball before it sailed away.
“Yo, he tipped the ball! I’m not airballing like that!” Durant said.
Despite the loss, both teams now hold a record of 3-1. In this match, Durant contributed significantly, scoring 30 points along with eight rebounds, four assists, and four blocks. He was particularly instrumental in the first quarter, where he helped cut an 18-point deficit with his scoring prowess.
On the other side, Davis, who recently slammed Rudy Gobert, also had a standout performance for the Lakers, finishing the game with 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and three blocks. His efforts kept the Lakers in contention until the very end.

Following the game, Durant took a moment to reflect on this accomplishment and express gratitude to his fans.
“People encouraging me, sending me texts after bad games, took time out of their lives to come and watch me play; be invested in my career. It’s all about them. I’m glad I’m able to do it with this group of guys and in front of this crowd. I’ve got more to do,” Durant said.
Durant’s team will encounter the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. With his recent success and determination, fans can expect another thrilling performance from the superstar.
