Television viewership is down from this time a year ago. This matters to Kevin Durant, a 14-time All-Star who's seen what the NBA can do.

The Warriors won this game by a final score of 109-105, surviving a 31-point performance from Kevin Durant. Facing his former team, Durant lead Phoenix in scoring, but it was not enough to get a victory in Golden State.

Shortly thereafter, Durant logged onto X and started firing off posts, many of which were directed at fans complaining about the NBA. The first post was in response to a user lamenting the fact that San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama and New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns shot threes over each other instead of dunking on each other.
