"Most definitely," Durant said in the postgame as he was asked if hitting the clutch shot against the Suns meant more to him.
"A place that I didn’t want to leave, and my first time being—to not sound too dramatic, but kicked out of a place. I felt like I’d been scapegoated for the issues we had as a team last year. It felt good to beat them and hit a game-winning shot, but that’s all it is."
