Durant returned for Game 5 but was sidelined for good in the second quarter. The Warriors rallied to win, returning to Oakland down 3-2 in the series. They led by five (85-80) late in the third quarter of Game 6 when five-time All-Star Klay Thompson limped off with a torn ACL. Entering to replace Thompson, Cook knew what that meant. Without KD and Klay the series would tilt toward the Raptors. They won Game 6, sending the Warriors into the offseason. “But I still believe … if K doesn’t get hurt … it’s not even close,” Cook told NBC Sports Bay Area in a Zoom conference Wednesday. “We win in five.”
