Kevin Durant finished with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists before leaving the game with a non-contact leg injury late in the 3rd quarter. It didn't look good and many feared it was his achilles but dub nation there's some positive news: the Warriors say it is a right calf strain. Here is the play when the injury occurred:

 The Warriors will probably know more on the severity of the injury tomorrow. Stay tuned to 95.7 The Game for all the latest. 

Kevon Looney played his heart out tonight. He wasn't going to let anyone out rebound him which is what the Warriors have struggled with this series. He finished with 9 rebounds and 5 points.
