Kevin Durant was back for 12 minutes.
The Golden State Warriors small forward returned from a lower-calf injury for Game 5 of the NBA Finals with his team down 3-1 to Toronto in the series. He had been out since May 8 after he suffered the injury in the Western Conference Semifinals against Houston.
The Warriors were on the brink of elimination, and they needed their hobbled superstar back to flip the script.
