"What a luxury to be able to just throw him the ball, especially with Steph out," Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. "He took over. It wasn't really scripted, it was just a natural product of Steph being out, Draymond being out. I just liked his pace, his energy. He was attacking from the start. It was like a 'I've got this' type of thing." Durant shrugged off any desire to take over the game, but he liked the chance to be creative"It's fun when you get to create," Durant said. "It's fun to just be creative out there. Passing for the lob, or creating the jump shot -- all the things you work on. It felt like tonight I was able to go to my bag of tools and pull some stuff out. I don't expect it to be like that every single game but we set the tone early and after that I didn't have to handle the ball that much."

F Kevin Durant and Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins earned ejections for getting in each other's face,The tussle between Durant and Cousins came with 74 seconds left and the game essentially decided, with Golden State leading 118-110.

He said the histrionics have gone too far."Yeah, yeah, early in the game, we got a couple of techs just arguing with the refs," Durant said. "I think that took us out of the game, so we've got to just stay poised in those situations. I can't let anybody -- I can't get involved with that type of stuff. I've just got to stay locked in and stay focused on the game."I'm not going to fight nobody. I don't want to get injured. I don't want to get suspended. I love to play. I love making money for my family, so I'm not trying to get suspended."

"The refs run the game, so they get to ... if they are not feeling good, they get to just make any decision they want. I have to know they have all the power, and just shut up and take it."
