Aw, champ: Warriors squander huge lead in opening defeat

Related Topics: Shaun Livingston

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors were down one to the Houston Rockets with 10.6 seconds remaining in the contest.

Shaun Livingston received the ball from a side inbounds and found Stephen Curry for a wide-open three that clanked off the back rim. Players fought for the rebound and it was inadvertently tipped to Kevin Durant who drained a midrange baseline jumper. The crowd erupted with joy.

Players begin hugging Durant, but a replay showed that he didn’t not get the shot off cleanly before time expired.
