Listening to the @ZachLowe_NBA @HowardBeck podcast convo about what Durant's risk of reinjury was and whether the Warriors just got unlucky.
My 2c: While people are often too results-oriented, I think this probably *is* a case where the result suggests the Warriors screwed up.

Why? Because 1) There's not a lot of data on rushing guys back from injuries (especially if you want data on particular types of injuries, e.g. calf injuries) since NBA teams are usually pretty careful, so the Warriors' priors can't have been that strong.
and 2) The injury came early in the game on a routine play and 3) They were "all-in", with KD playing lots of minutes at a high pace vs. a very good opponent after barely having practiced.
So yeah this really should prompt questions about the Warriors' decision-making process.
