Game four of the 2017 NBA Finals was quite possibly the most drama-filled game of the series to date. While game three had some late game heroics from Kevin Durant, it was lacking in the intensity department. In game four, we got a whole lot of heated moments.
The moment that quite possibly was the peak of contention came when Kevin Durant and LeBron James got into a heated argument. Kevin Durant seemed angry at Kevin Love for hitting him in the head a few seconds earlier and LeBron James was defending his teammate.
Watch Durant and James exchange some words following the foul.
It’s rare that you see a pair of stars get into it on this stage of the NBA. During the season, we did see Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook exchange some words but that was a regular season game and the history there was warranted. This was different, two stars got into it and it was wonderful.
Shortly after, as the referees were assessing the severity of the foul against Kevin Love, Durant and LeBron chatted up and were all smiles after the interaction. Both Durant and James were given technical fouls.
