The Phoenix Suns secured a hard-fought 111-109 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. Following his stellar performance against the Washington Wizards, Kevin Durant once again showed his dominance on the court.
One notable moment occurred during the second quarter when the Suns were leading 57-45. Clippers’ Mason Plumlee attempted a flashy behind-the-back pass, which ended in disaster. The ball went to Durant, but he wasn’t ready to receive it. It led to a fumble and an awkward fall to the floor.
Both Durant and Mike Budenholzer were clearly frustrated. Durant even called out Plumlee, asking, “What are you doing?”
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

Durant’s reaction quickly went viral and sparked heated debates among fans on social media. While some fans criticized Durant for his response, others defended Plumlee and questioned the team’s overall chemistry during the play.
Imagine it was KD who hit the behind the back and was Plumlee who fumbled the ball out of bounds

KD would still be blaming and talking
It wasn't the best pass ever, but it was catchable. KD should be mad at himself for fumbling it, and in a nutshell it's why KD needs the Roster of God to win titles

KD the player is otherworldly. KD the leader has always been questionable.
