As you might expect, there was a total zoo of an atmosphere in Oklahoma City on Saturday night as Kevin Durant returned to take on the Thunder for the first time in OKC. Durant had extra security and was turned down by his favorite restaurant, just for starters. Here's a collection of the random scenes and how crazy it was before the game:
They probably won't let these fans --or snakes--in for Durant's return game. I'm guessing the game's not their point though pic.twitter.com/JDVIAHToEq

Finally, Durant met with the media before the game. (The Warriors did not have shootaround Saturday morning on account of being on a back to back. Credit to Durant and the Warriors' PR team for having him talk in that environment.)
