Durant Starts Warriors Career Off Hot Despite Rough Loss

OAKLAND – Kevin Durant’s Warriors debut started in spectacular fashion, making his first four shots, before he and his teammates faded in a 129-100 loss to San Antonio Tuesday night at Oracle Arena.

Durant scored the team’s first bucket, a turnaround jumper 65 seconds after tipoff. He later added a step-back jumper, a fadeaway and a pull-up 3-pointer to end the quarter with 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting.

He also blocked two shots in the quarter.

That was as good as it got for Durant and the Warriors.

Durant finished with a team-high 27 points on 11-of-18 shooting, including 1-of-3 from deep. He added 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals and the two blocks.
