Durant looked sharp in the first quarter, scoring 11 points, nine of which came off 3-pointers. The All-Star forward had not played in over a month since straining his calf.

This Warriors club has been through countless injuries recently, but this one is particularly heartbreaking as Durant worked hard to get back on the floor for the Finals.
