Warriors 116, Lakers 114: Kevin Durant drills game-winner in overtime to spoil Kobe Bryant’s jersey(s) retirement ceremony

The Golden State Warriors overcame a ghastly shooting night to defeat the pesky Los Angeles Lakers 116-114 on a game-winning Kevin Durant jumper late in overtime. This is an especially sweet victory for the champs as it came on the road, without the services of of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Shaun Livingston, or Zaza Pachulia.

Oh yeah, it was also the night the currently-downtrodden Lakers franchise honored their last hero, Kobe Bryant, by retiring two of his jerseys at halftime.
