Kevin Durant reacts to Warriors' 118-113 Game 6 win over the Rockets

The Warriors, without Kevin Durant, went into Houston on Friday night and beat the Rockets to close out their second-round NBA playoff series.

And no one was happier than KD himself, who stayed back in the Bay Area for treatment on his strained right calf.

After the Warriors won 118-113 in Game 6, Durant posted an Instagram photo of himself celebrating.

Durant will be re-evaluated next week, and it's not clear if he'll be ready for the start of the Western Conference finals Tuesday.

“We still need KD back," Draymond Green said as he walked back to the locker room after the win. "But we can get him back now.”

Another image from Durant's celebration caught his excitement when Steph Curry nailed a 3-pointer with just under 90 seconds left in the game.

Shaun Livingston sent his best wishes back to the Bay for his teammate.

Whether four days' rest will make a difference for Durant remains to be seen.
