Meister der Farbe » s: OF Denard Span got anothe

LAS VEGAS -- The basketball world was given a glimpse of Kevin Durant sharing the court with a couple of his new Golden State Warriors teammates for the first time Monday as USA Basketball opened its pre-Olympic training camp at UNLVs Mendenhall Center.Durant closed practice by participating in a shooting drill with fellow wing players Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, with the trio expected to make up the bulk of Golden States starting lineup next season.Before theyll play any meaningful basketball together, theres still plenty to digest about Durants decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder and sign with the back-to-back Western Conference champions -- particularly where things stands with Durants relationship with OKC and his former running mate, Russell Westbrook.Its sports, Durant said. They unite everybody. I had a chance to play in Oklahoma City for eight years and see the city come together and support the team. I understand where theyre coming from. It hurt me. I was hurt for a few days because I knew I hurt so many people in Oklahoma City by changing teams.Of course, theyre going to say what they have to say, because everybody is emotional. I understand that. Sports is a way to get away from the real world for a second. We provide that. I understand how they feel. I cant really say anything to make them feel any different; Ill still go out there and be who I am as a basketball player and as a person. Like I say, life moves on.Durant was asked if Westbrooks own impending free agency in the summer of 2017 impacted how he chose his destination, and he downplayed its significance as a deciding factor.We didnt really talk about that, Durant said. We didnt really talk about anything at all.Theres been plenty of talk in the past two weeks, of course, about just what happened to cause Durant to join the Warriors after his Thunder were up 3-1 on them in the Western Conference finals.Im shocked we did get him, you know? said Green, who said he practiced on the opposite team of Durant on Monday. You dont get a top-three player in the world. Some would say the best player in the world. Obviously its all someones opinion, but you dont get that every day. Thats just not normal. Im not going to act like its something that happens every day. Its one of the biggest moves in NBA history. I hope everybody else is shocked, because I am.It was a preferable type of shock for Green after what he and Warriors went through in the Finals, having their 73-win season marred as they couldnt complete the championship run after being up 3-1 on the Cleveland Cavaliers.It definitely ... it helps relieve that, because its something you can really grasp and look ahead with, and its something special to look ahead with, Green said. It helps out a lot, for sure.Durants decision sent a ripple effect through the league. The Golden State roster was completely overhauled, including Harrison Barnes -- now an Olympic teammate of Durants -- ending up signing with the Dallas Mavericks.Golden State is a first-class organization, Barnes said. They were communicating with me the whole time and telling me they were going to be active in free agency. If they didnt get their guy, they would come back around to me. That allowed me to process in my mind what it would be like to go somewhere else, and thats what happened. I was able to go to a great team. Theres no bad blood between us. We accomplished what our goal was when I first got drafted, which was to win a championship.Durant -- who declined to go too in depth into his various free agency meetings other than to say Tom Brady tempted him to be ready to just say, OK, Lets go, and join the Boston Celtics -- said he was at peace with where he ended up, no matter what criticism it might bring.I cant make a decision on my life because everybody else is going to be upset about it, Durant said. I just told myself to put me first and really think about what I wanted. And this is what I wanted. Well see what happens.Im just going to experience everything the way I experience it. I always think about the game of basketball, so if I focus on the game of basketball, I dont worry about if Im a hero or a villain. I focus on the people who keep it positive and hold me accountable, and push me to my limits. Life goes on at some point.Information from ESPNs Ramona Shelburne, Arash Markazi and Ethan Sherwood Strauss was used in this report.

PHOENIX -- The San Francisco Giants have 41 wins this season when leading after seven innings. They were in position for No. 42, and their 52nd victory of 2016, until Welington Castillo spoiled it.Castillos three-run homer in the eighth inning rallied Arizona to a 6-5 victory over the Giants, ending the Diamondbacks six-game losing streak and sending NL West-leading San Francisco to its first defeat in six games at Chase Field this season.Castillo ripped reliever Hunter Stricklands 2-1 pitch into the stands in left field with one out. The Giants led 5-3 going into the inning, but starter Jeff Samardzija and reliever Josh Osich each put runners on base.I tried to throw a two-seamer, left it over the plate and it didnt move, Strickland said. I would say he got the best of it. I was trying to throw it in. I was trying to get a ground ball.Strickland (3-1) replaced Osich and gave up the games biggest hit. Jake Barrett (1-0) earned his first major league win in relief and Brad Ziegler got his 17th save of the season.That is one we let get away, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Just bad location there.

Buster Posey walked, took third on a single and scored on a fielders choice when Diamondbacks shortstop Jean Segura threw wide to home plate for an error after fielding Williamsons grounder.Recent callup Ruben Tejadas first hit and RBI as a Giant came one out later, on a single to drive in Crawford. Then Samardzija grounded to Segura, who bobbled the ball and could only get one out to allow Williamson to score.Patrick Corbin doubled and scored in the fourth thanks to teaammate Michael Bourns hustle.dddddddddddd Bourn beat out what looked to be an inning-ending double-play grounder at first base, allowing Corbin to score from third.Castillo and Chris Herrmann doubled in runs in the fifth -- Herrmanns drive close to being a home run to right-center field -- to cut the Giants lead to two.Samardzija allowed four runs on eight hits in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out five without a walk.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: OF Denard Span got another day off due to neck stiffness but could be back by Sunday. ...
