The real KD Files are a bunch of clips of Kevin Durant hitting silky jumpers

NBA basketball has returned. Let us dispense with all the nonsense!

Good morning. It's already Friday, against all odds. Let's basketball.

Scores

Rockets 105, Hornets 101 – Draymond Green said that if The KD Files are real, he doesn't know how Kevin Durant walks back into practice. Someone's gotta get Draymond a Bucket of Self-Awareness for his next birthday; unfortunately, I don't think Jordan Poole's Face is ready to buy gifts for Green yet. Anyway, KD did walk back into Rockets practice, and then walked back into a Rockets game, and then took over down the stretch to clinch a big win for Houston.

LaMelo Ball was filmed causing a car accident in Charlotte on Wednesday – ask us how we know which vehicle is LaMelo's – and thankfully it appears everyone is OK. I'm just glad the Hornets have some other dudes to be really excited about.

Nets 84, Cavaliers 112 – James Harden is one of the best passers of this or any generation. If nothing else, the trade allows us to get a few months of fresh appreciation for the dude.
