I'm Corey with the story.

Kevin Durant set out Houston's big 115-96 win over the Lakers in Game 4 Sunday night,

nursing a bone bruise on his ankle.

That's… crapping his movement.

Coach Imey Udoca didn't shut the door on a quick comeback now that the series is stretching

out, calling it a day-to-day call just like Durant's.

Earlier knee issue, the Rockets clawed back from an O3 hole with that victory after dropping

Game 3 in overtime, where they blew a late 6-point lead in a 1-12-108 loss.

Durant skipped Game 1 with the knee bruise, dropped 23 points in 41 minutes during Game 2's

loss before tweaking the ankle late, despite logging heavy minutes all regular season as

a 37-year-old scoring machine.

Game 5 tips off Wednesday night in Los Angeles, and with Durant pushing to shake the swelling,

Houston's got real momentum if he laces up soon.
