Durant clashes with Budenholzer during Suns' game

Kevin Durant was seen expressing frustration with Suns coach Mike Budenholzer during a recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This incident occurred as the Suns fell behind early, with Durant responding to Budenholzer's questions about defending Luka Doncic. The exchange highlighted ongoing communication issues between Durant and Budenholzer regarding defensive strategies. Durant argued he was mismatched, which contributed to open shots for Doncic, who scored three 3-pointers in the first quarter. The Suns are struggling this season, holding a 31-36 record and sitting at the No. 11 seed in the Western Conference. Their chances of making the Play-In Tournament appear slim if conflicts like this continue.
