OAKLAND, Calif. -- New Warriors addition Kevin Durant emerged from the tunnel to a hearty cheer from the Oracle Arena crowd as he came out for his pregame warm-up ahead of Tuesdays Team USA exhibition game.Durant completed his first shooting routine in Oakland -- a workmanlike two-man game between himself and Team USA assistant Monty Williams -- and sauntered over to the crowd hanging over the tunnel. One fan held up a sign proclaiming KD is NOT the VILLAIN. Just to the left of the placard, Durant autographed a new Warriors home jersey bearing his name.Just before tipoff, Golden States star triumvirate of Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson took center court, with Green on the mic. Green, the most vocal Warrior, exhorted the crowd to welcome KD, and they happily obliged.They know that decision I made, how stressful that time was, Durant said of his new teammates. Just trying to make me feel comfortable, and I appreciate them for that, and its just a testament to who they are as people -- being great teammates already, man. So Im looking forward to a great season.The crowd roared for more than 15 seconds, before finally getting interrupted by DeAndre Jordans name ringing out over the speakers.It felt a little weird for these fans to be cheering me on like that, Durant said of the reception. Obviously, being somewhere for so long and then making the change, but it felt great. I appreciate all the basketball fans who come and enjoy us playing.It was cool, man. It was different. Obviously, its going to be different. The vibes were great, everybody showed me major love, showed the team major love, so it was fun.The Oracle fans gave equally spirited cheers for Green and Thompson as they took the floor. Durant will be a media fixation this season, but its a level of attention his new teammates have grown accustomed to.We were under a microscope all of last year, said current Golden State assistant coach and former?Thunder?assistant Ron Adams, as he watched from the sidelines. Its nothing new.Durant reiterated that hes just going to be myself, and said he feels the Warriors will accept him for the player he is.?Ill just stick with what I always know and how I do things, he said. It feels like they got different personalities. Draymond stays who he is, Klay stays who he is,?Steph [Curry], Dre [Iguodala],?Shaun [Livingston].?They have different personalities, but it works well, because they understand each other. Just add another guy in there.Durant cemented his debut on the Warriors home floor by hitting a quick 3-pointer on the games opening possession, followed soon after by an uncontested dunk. He finished with 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting in a 107-57 win over China.?I didnt lose sleep over today, Durant said. I just wanted to be myself, do my normal routine.?Kyrie [Irving]?being such a great guy he is, he told me before the tip that he was throwing it to me no matter what, and I knew I was going to pull the first shot since like yesterday. Luckily it went in.After watching Durant nail a 3 within the first seven seconds of Tuesdays game, Thompson had this to say about his new teammate: This could be a problem [for the league].Hydro Flask Beer & Wine 10 oz Wine Tumbler Zwart .

Breaking three of his own world records on his way to winning in Paris, Chan silenced the critics and left the audiences standing in appreciation and awe.WASHINGTON -- A day after the Nationals locked up home field advantage in the NL Division Series, they shared in Max Scherzers latest individual accomplishment.The ace earned his 20th victory of the season and drove in a career-high four runs to help Washington beat the Miami Marlins 10-7 on Sunday.Everybody had their fingerprints all over the game, said Scherzer, who last year threw two no-hitters and earlier this season tied a record with a 20-strikeout outing. Its just an absolute team win from everybody, from what they were able to do. Its really special.Scherzer (20-7) allowed five runs in five innings while striking out seven. It was his second career 20-win season, and he became the second pitcher to win 20 games for the Nationals since they moved to Washington. Gio Gonzalez won 21 games in 2012.Mark Melancon pitched the ninth to earn his 47th save in 51 chances.The NL East champion Nationals, who will face Los Angeles in the division series, finished the regular season 95-67, a 12-game improvement in manager Dusty Bakers first season.Austin Brice (0-1) gave up three runs in an inning for Miami (79-82), which recorded its best record since going 80-82 in 2010.Third baseman Martin Prado served as the Marlins manager, continuing a tradition actual manager Don Mattingly was a part of while working under Joe Torre in New York and Los Angeles and later when he managed the Dodgers. Prado went 1-for-2 with a caught stealing before removing himself from the game in the middle of the third inning.Sometimes you question managers making decisions, Prado said. Now that I was in that spot for only one game, I dont know if I can do it. Theres so much stuff. The games speed up and theres so many things you have to be aware of. I wont ever say anything bad about any manager.Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy, who had missed the previous 10 games with an injured glute muscle, pinch hit in the fifth. He had a chance to overtake Colorado second baseman DJ LeMahieu for the National League batting title, but flied to right.We accomplished one of our goals, Id say two of our goals actually, Murphy said. We won the NL East and were hosting a division series as well. So no, the batting title is nott something I gave a lot of thought to.dddddddddddd.Washington broke a 5-5 tie in the fifth on Wilmer Difos RBI fielders choice. Shortstop Danny Espinosa drilled the next pitch to right for his 24th home run to put the Nationals up 8-5.Marlins starter Tom Koehler walked the bases loaded to open the second inning before catcher Jose Lobaton hit a sacrifice fly. Against a drawn-in infield, Scherzer hit one up the middle to score two more runs.A similar scenario unfolded in the fourth, when the first two men reached base and Lobaton sacrificed. Again, the Marlins brought the infield in. Again, Scherzer poked one up the middle to drive in two. The four RBI are the most for a Nationals pitcher since the franchise moved from Montreal in 2005.He was so determined, Baker said. What did he drive in, four runs? Thats what well never hear the end of.Outfielder Destin Hood and catch Tomas Telis both hit two-run shots off Scherzer for their first career home runs.ICHIRO AT 3,030Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki, who earlier in the season collected his 3,000th hit, poked a pinch-single to right to lead off the fifth. He finished the year with 3,030 hits, 25th on the all-time list. The 42-year-old hit .291 in 327 at-bats.KIEBOOM DEBUTSC Spencer Kieboom made his major-league debut for the Nationals. He walked and scored as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. Kieboom was recalled Tuesday after Wilson Ramos suffered a season-ending knee injury.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: Catcher J.T. Realmuto was out of the lineup on back-to-back days for the first time all season. He hit .303 with 11 homers and 48 RBI, and his .301 average as a catcher set a club record previously held by Ivan Rodriguez (.300 in 2003).Nationals: LF Jayson Werth (back tightness) sat out the second day in a row.UP NEXTMarlins: After improving from 71 victories last year to 79 in manager Don Mattinglys first season, Miami will try to record its first winning record since 2009 next year.Nationals: Scherzer is expected to meet Clayton Kershaw (12-4, 1.69) when the Dodgers visit Nationals Park for Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday.
