Durant on LeBron non-foul reaction: ‘Keep that s--t on Twitter'

Kevin Durant doesn't appear to be in the Christmas spirit.

The MVP forward appeared frustrated when asked for his thoughts on the Twitter debate that erupted shortly after the Warriors' 99-92 win over the Cavs on Christmas Day.

In the closing seconds with the Cavs trailing by three, LeBron James drove to the basket before being blocked by Durant. An exasperated LeBron immediately put his hands up in disbelief and turned towards the nearest referee asking for a foul. The non-call ended up being the difference as Klay Thompson would go the free-throw line twice, hitting all four to ice the game.

Twitter immediately came to LeBron's defense after the game, claiming the four-time MVP was, in fact, fouled by Durant on the play.

When a reporter asked Durant after the game for his reaction to fans on Twitter saying he fouled LeBron, Durant interjected, "On Twitter?"

The Warriors forward then went on to defend the non-call and claim that those same fans would be infuriated if they were called for a foul on a similar play at their local gym.

"It felt clean. It's probably the same play a bunch of those dudes on Twitter probably arguing about in 24 Hour Fitness, 'That wasn't a foul.' They've been in that position before, but just not on Christmas at Oracle Arena. So they know. They know if they ain't call it, it's not a foul. But I'm sure if they get that call next week in 24 Hour Fitness, they're going to be pissed that they called a foul.

"So keep that s-t on Twitter," said Durant, before getting up and walking out of the room.

The Warriors next meeting vs. the Cavs is Jan. 15 at Quicken Loans arena, in case you were wondering.
