Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant went at it in the final moments of the 76ers’ win over the Nets on Thursday, with the two exchanging words once again.
The two superstars clashed as Embiid took free throws with Philadelphia holding a comfortable lead with just seconds to play. Then after the final whistle, Embiid appeared to tell Durant to "go home".
Durant downplayed the incident, telling reporters that the back-and-forth was in “the name of the game.”
“He didn’t really say nothing,” Durant said. “… We just respect each other so much that natural competitive fire comes out.
