Kevin Durant is on the floor clutching his right calf
Kevin Durant has just hit the deck after losing the ball.
The crowd erupts and Kevin Durant drops the ball after planting his right foot hard.
Big bad Bogut joins the fray
Interestingly, Australian Andrew Bogut has taken the court before DeMarcus Cousins.
No complaints Down Under, always good to see the NBL MVP doing it at the highest level.

First quarter (Toronto Raptors 28 Golden State Warriors 34)
So far the game has been a prettier one to watch, and it's clearly a more complete contest between the two sides.
In that vein, it's also a real test of whether the NBA has been able to catch up to and counter the side that changed the face of the league forever.
Toronto are doing enough to stay in this contest, especially with their work on the defensive end – but when you watch Kevin Durant stroll up to the three-point line and drain the three… it's an addition the package for sure.
Toronto are not far behind, but for much of these series it has been the Warriors who were "not far behind".
Definitely a different game.
VanVleet with a bit of aggression
Fred VanVleet comes in from the side as Steph Curry shoots from distance – that's three free-throws.
VanVleet is visibily angry about the call, (and looking up for the big screen replay) but he's clearly made contact with Curry's outstretched arm.
Most important, though, is the fact that he is coming from the side in the first place. The Raptors guard has done such a great job this series of keeping with Curry, but on this play he's lashed out a bit after a bigger defensive seperation than he might have liked.
Toronto hanging on and take the lead!
The Raptors have stolen the ball twice now, and they are really working hard to earn rebounds on the offensive.
Golden State are making it more difficult for Toronto to finish shots, but at the same time aren't doing enough to ensure that's where it ends, allowing Raptors to stay with them.
Case in point, Raptors steal the ball for a THIRD time now, and it's converted at the other end as Leonard completes a three-point play – nailing the bonus free-throw after being fouled on the layup.
One bucket later, they lead (21-19).
Rusty? No chance
