OAKLAND, Calif. –– Just when it seemed the Warriors’ disastrous third quarter couldn’t possibly get any worse, a wave of dread passed through Oracle Arena. Kevin Durant had come up limping, first, and then clutching at the back of his right leg. The circumstances were alarming. No other player had touched Durant, and yet he glanced back behind him as if his leg had been clipped—a hallmark of an Achilles injury. “Anytime you see something non-contact like that, it's scary,” Stephen Curry said. The Warriors fouled to allow Durant time to limp off the floor. He bypassed the bench and, along with Warriors general manager Bob Myers, headed straight for the locker room.
