The NBA playoffs kicked off in explosive fashion with upsets, ejections and record-shattering performances.
CLOSE SportsPulse: Who said the NBA playoffs was predictable? Day one was anything but and USA TODAY's Martin Rogers breaks it all down. USA TODAY
Durant, booted from one game in the regular season and recipient of a league-leading 17 technical fouls, was sent to the locker room midway through the fourth quarter of Game 1 following an ongoing tussle with Clippers guard Patrick Beverley, who was also ejected. His premature departure cut short a 23-point performance, but he was not needed further as the Warriors maintained their dominance for virtually the entire game in a series where the Las Vegas bookies have listed the Clippers as high as 100:1 outsiders.
Said Beverley: “I got pushed, I got up and I got ejected. I guess the refs, I guess he saw something that I don’t know. But that’s all right. I give them a lot of credit.”
