Durant was asked Saturday about his physical and aggressive play from Game 3, but he didn’t seem too concerned with what happened. He felt both teams were just playing basketball, and that you should expect some physicality at this point in the season.

The NBA rules for a suspension regarding technical fouls reset during the playoffs. The punishment for further violation of the rules is as follows:

1-2 techs: $1,000 fine each 3-4: $1,500 fine each 5-6: $2,000 fine each (with a warning letter sent once the fifth tech is reached) 7: $2,500 fine plus one-game suspension
