The Cleveland Cavaliers fell to the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the 2018 NBA Finals, and Kevin Durant was the reason for the Dubs' victory. The All-Star forward willed his Warriors to a win on a night when Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 21 points on 7-of-27 shooting. Durant himself finished with 43 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists on 15-of-23 shooting from the field, including a deep, dagger three-pointer from the left side of the top of the key to effectively put the nail in the coffin on the Cavs' season.
After the game, Kevin Durant was the man of the hour in terms of postgame interviews, but during towards the end of it, he was seen mouthing some curse words at a reporter or someone in the back.
Perkins dropped in on KD's presser with two middle fingers, and Durant fired back 😂😂 https://t.co/X3sNDHwq84

According to Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, that person was Cavs' center Kendrick Perkins.
On his way out of the arena, Kendrick Perkins stopped in the hallway and stuck his head in the interview room to see who was at the podium. When he saw it was Kevin Durant, Perk saluted him — with two middle fingers raised high over his massive frame. Without saying a word, he turned away and continued heading for the exit.
Perkins stopped by Durant's postgame interview on his way out of the arena to let him know how he really felt about his dagger. Of course, there probably wasn't much hate in that exchange as it was a friendly, yet appropriate salute between two former former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates.
The Cavs and Warriors will tip off Game 4 of the Finals on Friday night at 9PM EST. As everyone knows, this will be Cleveland's last stand. They could force a Game 5 with a win, but no team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs.
