The Thunder had a relatively easy time with the Suns on Sunday, using a second-half surge to cruise to a 21-point victory on OKC's home floor.
But during the game, there were some friendly fireworks.
Durant seemed to take particular pleasure in hitting a late-game jumper over Eric Bledsoe, and afterward, he explained the reason why.
Bledsoe is soft-spoken with the media, and is usually a man of few words publicly. But he's as competitive as they come when he steps between the lines.
Durant, on the other hand, sealed the Thunder's 124-103 win against the Suns with a flurry of shots in the fourth quarter, the prettiest of which was a 20-foot "Dirk" fadeaway over guard Eric Bledsoe. If there was such a thing as posterizing someone with a jumper, Durant did it to Bledsoe, and then busted out a large grin as backpedaled away to defense.

"E-Bled talks a lot of s---," said Durant, who had 32 points, 11 rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes. "And I'm a major s---talker myself."
