Kevin Durant Calls Tonight’s Game Against The Magic “A Must Win”
In some news that clearly can’t be a good thing for the Magic heading into their game tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder, All-Star small forward Kevin Durant has called tonight’s game a must win.
Uh-oh it’s if the #Magic lose by less than 20 tonight against #OKC that’ll be a win in my book… Apparently @kdtrey5 is focused….

VIDEO: Russell Westbrook gets Pissed Off, Leaves for Locker Room in Middle of Game
Oklahoma City Thunder starting point guard, Russell Westbrook, got really heated during the Thunder’s 106-89 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night and was subsequently benched.
During one play, Westbrook was backing down Jerryd Bayless in the post and eventually got called for a five-second back down violation, resulting in a turnover. Westbrook got pissed, not at himself, but at Thabo Sefolosha and Kevin Durant for not getting open. After calling them out, he started yelling at head coach Scott Brooks, who then benched Westbrook.
Video: Kevin Durant gets Ejected for First Time in Career
On Wednesday night Kevin Durant experienced his first ejection of his career during the Thunder’s blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
The ejection occurred with less than two minutes to go in the game when Durant began to argue with the referee after Kendrick Perkins was hit with a technical foul, which allowed Durant, himself, to pick a T.
After some words were exchanged (probably not nice words), Durant was then hit with his second technical, prompting his ejection.
