Warriors star Kevin Durant injured his right leg during the third quarter of Game 5 and did not return to action after hobbling off the court.

CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREOAKLAND, Calif. — With the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets locked in yet another battle, the Western Conference semifinals on Wednesday night produced a gasp-worthy moment.

"Our guys are giants," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the win, borrowing the words of Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. The game was tied 84-84 after Houston’s Eric Gordon made a 3-pointer with 6:09 left to play. But the Warriors regained the lead on the very next possession and did not surrender it again.After Durant left the game, Steph Curry shook off his shaky first half and finished with 25 points and his fellow Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, had a team-high 27 points.

In fact, late in the quarter, they even booed him when he checked into the game.
