Midway through the fourth quarter Wednesday night, while walking to the court out of a timeout, Kevin Durant saw a young fan sitting in the third row with a blue No. 35 jersey shirt with a peculiar name: “SNAKE.”
“Really?” Durant said, his arms spread wide.
“Tweet it!” the boy chirped.
It was yet another reminder that even fans of teams well below .500 can take issue with Durant. In helping propel the Warriors to a 125-122 win over the Mavericks at American Airlines Center, Durant reinforced why many love to hate Golden State: It has two former MVPs to help wipe away mistakes that would doom other teams.
