Durant whips up a storm on Thunder return

Warriors star jeered throughout as tensions run high over summer exit

Hours before Kevin Durant was to play in Oklahoma City for the first time as a visitor on Saturday, some Thunder fans were already gathered around Chesapeake Energy Arena, showing their contempt for the man who left as a free agent last summer and joined the rival Golden State Warriors.

The venom continued as the game, which the Warriors won 130-114, approached. Durant was booed during warmups, and booed even more loudly during starter introductions. After tip-off, he was booed whenever he touched the ball.
