Kevin Durant didn't just ruthlessly dominate the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. He made sure to do it in Rihanna's face as well.

KD had a moment with the music star, who was sitting courtside for Game 1 in Oracle Arena. After drilling a 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter, Durant clearly turned his attention to Rihanna while running back down the court.

After the game, Durant was asked about the exchange and claimed he didn't remember what happened. Steph Curry also offered him some good advice about dealing with the question.
