“Our fans were loud. They were there early. They definitely gave us an advantage,” Durant said, via SNY. “It was weird, because we haven’t seen them all season. It was 1,500 there last couple months of the season, but to see people at the front row, and then to see more in the upper and lower bowl, it was pretty cool.”
