Kevin Durant left the Golden State Warriors game against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night after suffering what appeared to be a non-contact injury.

Durant pulled up for a baseline jumper, and landed without contact. As he started to run back down the court, he stopped and turned back, as though he had suddenly been kicked by someone, though he hadn’t. He then started limping, and immediately left the court.

The Houston Rockets got a much-needed victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 and they carried over that momentum into a Game 4 victory as they held off the Warriors, 112-108, to tie the series at two games apiece.

Game 4 came down to the wire as Houston had to survive a pair of great looks from beyond the arc from Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry in the last 11 seconds of the game with the Rockets clinging to a 111-108 lead to preserve their victory.

The Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets meet Tuesday in a likely series-defining Game 5, with Tuesday’s winner grabbing the upper hand with a 3-2 lead and inching on more win away from the Western Conference finals.

Here’s a whip around the web for the latest Blazers-Nuggets links ahead of Game 5:

BOSTON (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 39 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Bucks to a 113-101 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series on Monday night and move Milwaukee within one win from its first trip to the Eastern Conference finals since 2001.

The Bucks have won three straight since losing the opener of the best-of-seven series at home. They can eliminate the Celtics in Game 5 at home on Wednesday night and reach the East finals for the first time since the ’01 team of Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson fell to Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson and Dikembe Motumbo in seven games.

The Raptors have often conspired with their playoff opponents to turn each series into what can charitably be described as a rock fight. Hard-scrabble play, messy execution, a lot of missed shots — Toronto has seen some ugly post-season basketball over the past few years. It’s what made this series with the Philadelphia 76ers so frustrating to watch after Game 1. We knew this iteration of the Raptors could be better.

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly bracing for the end of their era of supremacy, according to a bombshell report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The veteran journalist reported on Tuesday morning (AEST) the general feeling across the league is that the team will lose at least one of its stars this off-season with both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson both looking for new deals.

What a win.

The Denver Nuggets, mirroring their series against the San Antonio Spurs, win Game 5 against the Portland Trail Blazers 124-98 to take a 3-2 series lead. Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap were excellent in this one. Jokic posted 25 points, 19 rebounds, and six assists before fouling out late in the blowout. Millsap, not to be outdone, added 24 points, eight rebounds, two assists, a steal, and two blocks of his own. Denver held Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum reasonably quiet, as the duo scored just 34 points on 37 field goal attempts tonight.

The Warriors will face the Rockets in Game 4 of the second round with questions about how to negotiate the use of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant.

Thus far in the Golden State Warriors’ second round series with the Houston Rockets, Steph Curry has been less than stellar.
