There’s no love lost between Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.
After nailing a game-winning triple over against his former team on Monday night, the Houston Rockets star forward reveled in revenge against an organization that he clearly feels did him dirty.
Durant spent three seasons in Phoenix before being traded to Houston over the offseason. Following the Rocket’s 100-97 win over the Suns, Durant said that he felt like the Suns made him a scapegoat and forced him out the door.
"A place that I didn't want to leave,” Durant said of Phoenix. “My first time -- I don't want to sound too dramatic, but I will -- to be kicked out of a place.
"It feels good to play against a team that booted you out of the building and scapegoated you for all the problems they had," he continued.
