Two former teammates – Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook – will play against each other in the first round of the playoffs as the Suns will face the Clippers.

KD was about the competitiveness between him and Russ. The two-time NBA champion says that it will be no different from any other game. The Suns superstar does not think that Westbrook will be more competitive just because he will playing against him.

“I think Russ is competitive against whoever he plays against,” Durant said. “I don’t think it was just specific to me. A lot of the fans and people that watching, it was high-intensity for them, it was entertainment for them.

“For us players, it’s just another game, it’s regularly scheduled programming, but Russ is that way. I’ve played with him for so long and watched him for so long, he was that way against everybody, so I don’t expect anything different.”
