Kevin Durant has said that the Oklahoma City Thunder's defeat to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference finals is "tough".
The Thunder had to win game six to keep the series alive, but were beaten 112-107 in overtime.
The league's MVP told reporters: "It's just tough losing like this, man. There's not much more I can say.
"They have a good team. Tony Parker is not their whole team. You've seen games where he wasn't playing and they still won. They've got a good system. They've got guys they can plug in, and they came in and made plays."
The Spurs will face the Miami Heat in the finals.
