Durant proclaims ‘I’m no punk’
Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant and Miami forward Chris Bosh were both slapped with technical fouls in the first quarter of the Heat’s 108-103 victory over the Thunder on Sunday afternoon.

Bosh delivered a hard foul to prevent Thunder guard James Harden from converting a fast-break layup. Durant, who was trailing on the play, shouted to Harden, and Bosh countered.

“He (Durant) was telling Harden to dunk on me,” Bosh said. “He said, ‘Dunk the next one.’ I expressed that, ‘No, he’s not going to dunk that,’ and he expressed, ‘Yes, he is.’ We just kind of went back and forth. I don’t think it was anything to get a tech over. It was just talking.”

Durant had started to walk away before Bosh began talking.

“I was talking to my teammate and he decided he wanted to put his two cents into it,” Durant said. “I’m a quiet guy, a laid-back guy, but I’m not going to let nobody talk trash to me. He’s on a good team now so he thinks he can talk a little bit. But (there are) a lot of fake tough guys in this league and he’s one of them.”
