As time expired in double overtime, Lauri Markkanen attempted a game-tying three over an outstretched Durant. The play was initially called a foul, but after the refs reviewed it, they overturned the call.

The phrase Durant used is from an acceptance speech from Kanye West years ago. West used that same response after winning a grammy to shout out those who didn't want to see him win.
Aside from his game-winning block on Markkanen, Durant did it all for the Suns in their win on Sunday. He logged 46 minutes in the matchup, and ended just shy of a triple-double. KD's full box was 39 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks.
At the age of 35, Durant continues to play at an extremely high level for the Suns. He is currently the NBA's second-leading scorer at 31.4 points per game, trailing only reigning MVP Joel Embiid.
