Elsewhere in the building was Kevin Durant, the one-time Warriors megastar who has missed the past four games with an ankle injury. His team, the Suns, has lost seven consecutive games, playoff elimination all but a certainty.

Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler couldn’t stay on the court on Wednesday for Game 2 of their first-round series against the Houston Rockets. The All-Star forward logged less than eight minutes of action and finished with three points.

Butler knew that NBA shooting legend Reggie Miller was doing commentary for the game for TNT, and the Warriors vet just had to give the Hall of Famer a shoutout after hitting a big three. TNT's Kevin Harlan saw Butler's gesture toward Miller, and the award-winning commentator quickly paraphrased Butler's message.
