Kevin Durant is biggest loser of Rockets' season-opening loss to Thunder

Kevin Durant got away with his most brutal mistake in Tuesday's season-opener. But his other miscues were enough to help the Houston Rockets lose a double-OT game to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 125-124.

With 2.2 seconds left in the first overtime, Tari Eason blocked a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot and Durant grabbed the rebound. He then signaled for a timeout — one that the Rockets didn't have, since they took their final one two possessions earlier. A horrified Alperen Sengun grabbed KD and the referees didn't notice as time expired.

Kevin Durant almost had a Chris Webber moment

In the 1993 NCAA final, Chris Webber called a timeout his Michigan team didn't have, giving North Carolina two foul shots, the ball and an NCAA title. If the officials have seen and granted Durant's timeout, it would have been a technical foul, giving the Thunder a chance at game-winning free throws — and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a 86.2% percent foul shooter.

Both Durant and Webber are former Golden State Warriors, but at least Webber didn't commit his gaffe in front of a crowd that's been booing him nonstop for nine years. The Thunder fans who never forgave Durant for leaving would have been thrilled to see him blow a game with a mistake you should never see from a player in his 19th NBA season.
