NEW ORLEANS — Midway through the first quarter in New Orleans, Steve Kerr subbed in Russell Westbrook and left Kevin Durant in the game. For the first time since their Thunder days, the two were on the court on the same team together.
Moments later, the two connected on a highlight give-and-go lob, from Westbrook to Durant back to Westbrook for the dunk. Here’s the highlight.

The play seemed to be a tension-easer set up by Kerr. Right after the play, a timeout was called.
