Durant excited by Curry return after inspired display fails to deny Raptors

Kevin Durant's heroics were unable to prevent the Golden State Warriors falling to defeat against the Toronto Raptors and he says the team is excited to soon have Stephen Curry back in the fold. Durant put up 51 points, including a stunning clutch corner three-pointer to take the contest into overtime, but the Warriors were beaten 131-128 to slip to 15-8 for the season. It marks the first time in his career that Durant has totalled more than 40 points in three consecutive NBA games and with Curry to come back following a groin strain sustained in a defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks on November 8 the Warriors will be looking to become more consistent.
