I am not going to justify that. It was a shitty thing to do. You get some idiots cheering and then people just join in without thinking. Didn’t like it then, don’t like it now. Is what it is?
What’s your perspective?
My recollection is that his injury immediately led to a turnover and fast break. It looked bad on TV, because the camera stayed on Durant and it was clear he was hurt and the crowd is going nuts.
I always wondered if the crowd was cheering because of the huge turnover and fastbreak. Then they got quiet when they realized KD was hurt.

I think a bit of both because Lowry had to signal for them to quiet down but that probably fed into it.
I am glad this game is on because I don’t remember what happened, why they had a long review before the Warriors inbounded with 1 second left. I remember it being a very anticlimactic celebration.

It was the foul on Kawhi with 0.9 seconds left that held everything up. Stupid refs ruined the party.

I vaguely remember that.
