OAKLAND, Calif. -- Russell Westbrook says he didnt watch Kevin Durants debut for the Golden State Warriors.Draymond Green assures the Warriors want to beat Durants former team really bad.The 2016 Western Conference Finals combatants havent seen each other in more than five months and already sparks are flying in anticipation of Thursdays nationally televised game in Oakland.The game not only will be the first between former teammates Westbrook and Durant, but also a rematch of Golden States rally from a 3-1 deficit in last years playoffs to deny the Thunder a spot in the NBA Finals.Theyre going to want to beat him really bad. Hes going to want to beat them really bad, Green said of the Durant and his old mates, who were formally split in July by the Warriors two-year, $54.3 million offer to the seven-time All-Star. In turn, were going to want to beat them really bad because we want him to beat them really bad.Itll be a lot of emotions, but itll be a fun game to play in. Its always a high-intensity game against them, and I expect nothing less.As expected, the matchup pits the top team in the West against one of its chief rivals.But four games into the new-look season, its the Thunder (4-0) thats sitting atop the Western standings, with the Warriors (3-1) a win away from evening that score.The Thunder will be playing its second game in two nights, having been taken to the limit in an 85-83 road win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.Westbrook recorded a different type of double-double in the win, countering 35 points with 10 turnovers.Shortly thereafter, he was on a plane making the 60-minute flight north.I play every game like its my last, Westbrook said of his mindset on the eve of the duel with Durant. Regardless of who we play, Im going to play the same way.Even with the World Series on a different channel, Durant assured earlier this week hed be tuned into the Thunder on television on his night off.Im definitely watching, he said of the Warriors night off. The stuff that Ive been through with that team and that organization, that stuff doesnt just go away.Ive got nothing but love for everybody there. Everybody. No matter how they feel about me, everybody on Oklahoma City, on that team, of course ... I support them. I want them to do well.Durant has helped the Warriors do well by most teams standards, opening the season with four consecutive 20-point games. He complemented the points with 10 and 17 rebounds in Golden States first two games, then with a pair of four-steal outings in the Warriors most recent efforts.The run of 20-point games is nothing new to the Most Valuable Player candidate. He finished his Thunder career with 12 straight at the end of last years regular season.Westbrook, meanwhile, had a more conventional double-double with 32 points and 12 rebounds in the Thunders opener, which he followed up with consecutive triple-doubles before Wednesdays debacle.Hes already had 2-for-10 and 0-for-7 shooting efforts from 3-point range in the early going.Both teams will take the court Thursday on a remarkably poor run of 3-point shooting. Golden State (29.3 percent) and Oklahoma City (28.1) both rank among the bottom nine in shooting percentage from beyond the arc. Andrea Barzagli Juventus Jersey .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Elia Viviani slammed hard into the wooden surface of the Olympic velodrome and thought, just for a fleeting moment, that perhaps his chances of winning a track cycling gold medal were over.Then he stood up. He realized he wasnt hurt. And he saw that he was still leading the omnium.So, Viviani hauled himself back onto his bike and proceeded to hold off stiff challenges from British cycling star Mark Cavendish and reigning gold medalist Lasse Norman Hansen of Denmark to win the multi-discipline event at the Rio de Janeiro Games on Monday.Its a bike race, Viviani said of the crash, caused when Cavendish collided with Korean rider Park Sang-hoon in the fourth corner. Were on a track, no brakes. When one guy changes directions in front of you and someone else is not ready to change directions, you crash.Talk about a pragmatic approach to a near-catastrophe.The omnium is contested over six events, but it came down to the points race, the final event where riders sprint for points every 10 laps and can earn bonus points for lapping the entire field.The tension was building when Cavendish, unaware of Park beside him, slashed down toward the bottom of the track. The Korean fell hard and lay motionless for several minutes while medical staff tended to him. He was eventually fitted with a neck brace and strapped to a backboard.Race officials said later Park did not sustain any serious injuries.It was my fault. I should have been looking where I was going a bit more, Cavendish said. I hope hes all right. And I apologized to Elia, he went down too.Meanwhile, Cavendish finally claimed the Olympic medal that has long eluded him.The winner of 30 stages of the Tour de France, Cavendish was the only British rider to miss out on a track cycling medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. He was also favored in the road race at the 2012 London Games but missed the podium.I did everything I could to prepare for this race. I did everything I could in the race, Cavendish said. Ultimately, I couldnt do anything more. So I have to be happy.Viviani was simply more consistent, wwinning the elimination race and finishing third in the individual pursuit and time trial Sunday.dddddddddddd He then took second in the flying lap to start the final day of competition, building a 16-point lead over second-place Cavendish entering the points race.At that point, all Viviani had to do was mark his rivals moves.Hansen will certainly rue his last-place finish in the elimination race. The Danish rider won the scratch race and individual pursuit to take a huge early lead, but the bronze medalists stunning misstep in the third event of the program proved too costly to overcome.I think I just went too deep in the (individual pursuit), he said. All cross-eyed before the start and I knew I wouldnt have a lot in the tank. But I didnt expect to get last.Britain can conclude another monster performance in the velodrome on Tuesday night, when Becky James and Katy Marchant try for individual sprint medals, Laura Trott aims to defend her omnium title and Jason Kenny tries to win his third gold medal of the Rio Games in the keirin.Their team is trying to match its feat of the past two Olympics, seven gold medals in each.Britain has already won mens and womens team pursuit, along with mens team sprint and Kennys individual sprint title. Three more golds would match Britains effort from Beijing and London.The potential for seven gold medals in 10 events is even more astounding when you consider the British squad didnt even qualify a team for the womens team sprint.Oh, and James and Callum Skinner each have won silver medals, too.The path to gold in the individual sprint became easier for James and Marchant when Olympic champion Anna Meares of Australia lost in her repechage Monday.There is no one who will criticize me more than me, said Meares, who wound up finishing 10th in the individual sprint. The perfectionist within me makes it hard to comprehend this result.For the first time in 22 years, I just couldnt get anything more out. ' ' '
