On Thursday, it was announced that the Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant will be out for at least Games 6 and 7 against the Houston Rockets after suffering a strain to his right calf.
The reigning Finals MVP left a close Game 5 with plenty of time to go in the second half. Despite that, the Rockets dropped a rare opportunity to topple the Warriors at Oracle thanks to a spirited battle by the rest of Golden State’s All-Stars and supporting cast.
Game 6 will be different, though - for both sides.
