Coming up short in a heroic and relentless quest for a third straight NBA title may be a disappointment for the Golden State Warriors, but it pales in comparison to the the ramifications of the devastating and potentially career altering injuries sustained by Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson in their valiant efforts to fight for another title.
