The Golden State Warriors return for their second and final regular-season visit to Oklahoma City on Monday, but Kevin Durant won't be playing as he continues to rehab his left knee injury. And that might be OK, because the Warriors were "furious and bewildered" by the Thunder organization's treatment of Durant in his first visit on Feb. 11, sources told ESPN's Chris Haynes.

Before and during that game, the Thunder refused to specifically address or acknowledge Durant's return to the city he played eight years in. Haynes reports the Warriors believe that inaction created a hostile environment at Chesapeake Arena.

The game featured a handful of unpleasant incidents, including Golden State forward Draymond Green getting into it with a heckler, and some fans yelling at Durant's mother.

It ultimately mattered little to the Warriors, as they walked away with a 130-114 win.

Durant is currently traveling with the team as he rehabs, but the million-dollar question Monday in OKC will be if he sits on the bench with his teammates or stays in the locker room.
