Kevin Durant responds to fan action against Trae Young and Russell Westbrook

Kevin Durant didn’t waste any time to show his feelings on recent fan behavior at Madison Square Garden and the Wells Fargo Center.

A fan was caught trying to spit on Trae Young on a late game inbounds play, while in Philadelphia, a fan disgustingly spilled popcorn all over Westbrook as he was heading to the locker room:

Nets veteran Blake Griffin also responded to the chaos by saying “I think what happened to Russ (Russell Westbrook) is far beyond that line — You never want anything to cross the line.”
