OAKLAND, Calif. -- Kevin Durant uncoiled his near 7-foot frame, threw a white button-down jacket over his shoulders and started his postgame availability following the Oklahoma City Thunder's closely contested 116-108 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
Durant answered questions with standard poise and stoicism, doing his best to shrug off the 48 minutes that just happened and maintain the story he and the Thunder told in the days leading up to this night: It's only one game, it's just February, we'll see them again.
That might've been what they said; but how they played said something different.
