    As Anthony Davis rose for a shot in the final minute of play, Kevin Durant met the Pelicans' star at his apex and swatted the ball away. Golden State's newly added All-Star then raced the other way for a game-clinching layup, completing a dominant night on both ends of the court.

    "I just tried to make a winning play for the team," Durant said. Davis "had it going all night, shooting over double-teams, making all these tough fade-aways. I had no doubt in my mind that if he had gotten it off, he would have made that one, so I just tried to make a play."

    Durant finished with 30 points and 17 rebounds, Klay Thompson added 28 points and the Warriors bounced back emphatically from a surprising season-opening loss by beating New Orleans 122-114 on Friday night.
