"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.
