"The story's about the game. We lost. They kicked our a**. They played a great game. Should give them credit for how they played, and we should be better. It's not about who's on each other faces. That stuff is not real, so please don't believe it. All the fans, they lying to you all. It's about basketball, and they played a great game. We didn't." he added.

Durant had 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in the 108-91 loss to his former club. On the other hand, his former co-star Russell Westbrook was the leading scorer for OKC as he ended with season-high 34 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 9 assists.

The two engaged in some heated moments, the most notable one being:

What's next?

It would be an intriguing contest as the two teams meet again on Feb 6, 2018, this time in Oracle Arena.

Author's take...

Russell Westbrook got his revenge this time on Kevin Durant. The Oklahoma City Thunder just showed what they are capable of doing when provided with the correct motivation. They played stellar defense and never allowed the Warriors to go on any sort of run. The rivalry is on and Warriors would like to strike back as the two teams meet again this time on Warriors home floor.
