Durant's Ankle: Rockets' Momentum in Game Five

0:00It's April 27. From your city to your ears, this is El Paso News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Kevin Durant set out Houston's big 115-96 win over the Lakers in Game 4 Sunday night, nursing a bone bruise on his ankle. That's… crapping his movement. Coach Imey Udoca didn't shut the door on a quick comeback now that the series is stretching out, calling it a day-to-day call just like Durant's. Earlier knee issue, the Rockets clawed back from an O3 hole with that victory after dropping Game 3 in overtime, where they blew a late 6-point lead in a 1-12-108 loss. Durant skipped Game 1 with the knee bruise, dropped 23 points in 41 minutes during Game 2's loss before tweaking the ankle late, despite logging heavy minutes all regular season as a 37-year-old scoring machine. Game 5 tips off Wednesday night in Los Angeles, and with Durant pushing to shake the swelling, Houston's got real momentum if he laces up soon.
