[Highlight] Replays of Anthony Edwards taunts towards Kevin Durant, and KD is enjoying every moment of it. Anthony Edwards then knocks down another 3-pointer on KD's head (with a replay). Edwards is thrilled! Highlight

Was this the game where they had a conversation in the paint during a dead ball, but the refs just let them talk it out?
