Tuesday night’s season opener for the Warriors against the San Antonio Spurs here at Oracle Arena was supposed to be a festive occasion and a chance to see Kevin Durant play with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green for the first time in a game that counted.

Kipnis scored two batters later on a wild pitch.
