Kevin Durant Blames Himself for Rockets' Double-Overtime Debut Loss

In his highly anticipated debut with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, Kevin Durant took full responsibility for the team's narrow 125-124 double-overtime loss to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center. Durant publicly blamed himself for the defeat, telling reporters that he made "two plays" during the game that he believed were "the reason we lost." This self-critical assessment underscores the immediate pressure and high expectations surrounding his arrival in Houston, as he looks to lead the team despite a challenging start to his tenure.
