Durant shakes off jeers to lead Warriors to NBA win (AFP)

Kevin Durant was in hostile territory as he returned to Oklahoma City on Saturday, but shut out the noise to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 130-114 victory over his former team the Thunder. Durant scored 34 points and pulled down nine rebounds in his first game in Oklahoma City since he departed as a free agent for Golden State after last season. The jeers and catcalls greeted him at pre-game warm-ups and didn't let up until the Warriors had stretched their league-leading record to 46-8.
