4 heated moments from Durant's return to Oklahoma City

Mark D. Smith-USA TODAY Sports

Kevin Durant's return to Oklahoma City to square off against his former team had all the drama one could hope for.

Things got chippy between the Thunder and the Golden State Warriors, who prevailed 130-114 on Saturday on the back of KD's 34-point performance.

Here are some of the most intense exchanges from Saturday's contest:

Westbrook vs. Green

Early in the outing, Russell Westbrook and Draymond Green collided. The Thunder guard reportedly told an official afterward that the brash forward called him a "p---y" during the exchange.

Durant vs. Roberson

Everyone on the Thunder wanted a piece of Durant. Andre Roberson committed a foul that knocked his ex-teammate over, leading to the two getting up in each other's grill.

They both earned techs for the exchange. To their credit, the Dubs previously called this key matchup.

Green vs. heckler

While Green was checking back into the game, a fan reportedly told him: "Don't kick anybody."

The Warriors forward, who's notorious for flailing his legs, replied:

"I'mma kick you."

Westbrook vs. Durant

And last but not least, the head-to-head matchup we all tuned in for.

There was some shoving in the first half, but it wasn't until the third frame that the former co-stars showed some real animosity. When OKC cut Golden State's lead to 18, Russ and KD finally began jawing at one another.

Westbrook appeared to say, "I'm coming."

"You're losing, though," Durant reportedly responded with a shrug.

The former MVP capped off the wild affair with this dagger 3-pointer right over The Brodie and a celebratory flick of the wrist. Ruthless.

So much for "fake drama." Hollywood couldn't have written it better.
