Kevin Durant Comments on Thunder's Mindset After Game 6 Loss vs. Warriors

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant said his team must turn the page after its Game 6 collapse against the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors.

"If we walk in here like it's a funeral, then we already lost," Durant said of Sunday's practice, via Anthony Slater of the Oklahoman. "Nobody walked in like that."

The Thunder held an 83-75 lead heading into the fourth quarter and were ahead most of the period before falling apart. They made only one field goal in the final five minutes, which came off an Andre Roberson offensive rebound. Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for four missed shots and six turnovers in that stretch and finished the quarter 3-of-14.

"On the offensive end, you don't have to worry about me because I'm a professional scorer," Durant told reporters regarding his poor shooting night. "And I know how I've been doing this for so long. I'm not saying I'm going to have a great game every night or I'm going to shoot well every night, but I tend to figure things out on the offensive end."

The Warriors came back with a three-point barrage led by Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, and the former set an NBA playoff record with 11 threes. Golden State outscored Oklahoma City 19-5 over the final five minutes to keep its season alive.

"We can't feel sorry for ourselves," Durant said, via Slater, "because [the Warriors] aren't going to feel sorry for us. Whoever is covering the game, fans—nobody's feeling sorry for us. It's just a part of basketball. Guys walked in here real confident. We were upset we lost, but we let that go. We gotta get ready for Game 7."

The Warriors went 39-2 in the regular season at Oracle Arena, boasting perhaps the best home-court advantage in the league. They won their first six home games in the playoffs before Oklahoma City knocked them off in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Thunder have already taken down Golden State on the road, and they're just a series removed from having won two of three road games against the San Antonio Spurs, who went 40-1 at home during the regular season to tie an NBA record.

Durant, Westbrook and Co. have proved capable of navigating one of the roughest playoff roads in NBA history. But Oklahoma City collapsed so completely in Game 6 that it's fair to wonder if it can recover. Durant and Westbrook traded control of possessions while everyone else stood around, and they bumbled their way to bad shots and giveaways as the pressure increased.

The Thunder will get their third and final chance to finish off the historically great Warriors on Monday. But they may have already blown their best shot on Saturday.
