6:03 pm

6:06 pm
anything. >> just an impulse. >> maybe just a bizarre moment. but kyle lowry, i can't tell you how much restraint he showed. we have seen situations with other nba players. the worst of it was the malice in the palace where you had many players on the court fighting with fans. >> or running into the stands. thinking could have deteriorated into something far, far worse than this, and we cannot praise kyle lowry enough for showing the restraint that he did. because when somebody pushes you, your reaction, and we've seen -- the question is going to be, i know the players association is going to push for this, one-year ban, not enough. not enough. even though he is going to miss the chase center. imagine a man of his stature, he is not going to be there for all the opening ceremonies in the first year of this new building. but they're going to say this is unacceptable. and if it was a player that went after a fan, people would be outraged at this point. they'd be saying that player
6:07 pm
does not belong in this league. so this is going to take some time to play out. and you can see there is going to be a power struggle behind the scenes. >> okay. we'll see. larry, thanks. >> definitely not over. but abc7 is the only place to watch the warriors in the final four game. our coverage begins on abc7 news at 4:00 followed by the dub's pregame show at 5:00. nba countdown is at 5:30 and game four of the nba finals is at 6:00 p.m. followed by after the game live from oracle arena. new at 6:00, a san mateo police officer is in jail because of what he is accused of doing online. san jose police arrested 40-year-old robert edward davies today. police say they started investigating him when they got a call from someone who was posing as a teenager on tinder, kick, and snapchat and was chatting with davies on all of those apps, supposedly. the tipster first claimed to be 19 and then claimed to be 16. the tipster says davies was aware of the person's purported age and continued to talk about engaging in sexual activity.

6:44 pm
and she doesn't want me to do it. it's too late. she swallowed it. >> it was a piece less than two inches around. >> she is a big dog. i thought she would pass it. >> everything seemeding to until two weeks later. >> she began getting really, really sick. diarrhea, vomiting. >> that plastic piece was still in her belly. >> the vet had said if she doesn't pass it, it could cause a blockage. >> and she would need emergency surgery. gina stayed with bella around the clock, hoping the piece would come back out. >> i reached out to the company. >> the toy bella chewed off is it this flavorit nylon bone of irvine. gina asked the company to reimburse her $71 vet bill and pay for her time off work. the company apologized and offered to pay the $71 but said it was not at fault. >> they don't guarantee that these won't break. they said they didn't find any fault in the manufacturing of the toy. >> a company spokesperson jeff fowler would not talk to us on
6:45 pm
camera, but by phone he said photos of the used toy show bella had chewed off the end piece. and gina should have removed the toy before that could have happened. he said the package has this clear warning. always supervisor pet while chewing and remove if damaged. gina said it happened in a split second, and she points to the company's website saying its toys are made of indestructible nylon and are 100% safe. fowler said the term "100% safe" only means the nylon is nontoxic. it doesn't mean the toys are unbreakable. however, pet quirks removed the word indestructible from its website after we pointed it out. what surprised gina most, pet companies are not held to any rules for marketing these products. unlike children's toys which are heavily regulated, there are no federal standards for pet toys. they are not considered consumer products. they can only be recalled if they can harm a human being. >> that's unfortunate, because i

6:47 pm
>> she had thrown up. and sure enough, there was the piece of bone. >> we will spare you the sight of it, but there it was, the broken plastic safely thrown up. >> i've never been happier to see something so disgusting. >> the fda does regulate pet food and pet medicine. otherwise the government doesn't keep track of products that may be linked to pet injuries or deaths. advocates say stick with brands you trust you. might want to consider avoiding imports. and if you have a proble with a pet product, please let me know about it, and we'll look into it. now i want to hear from you about any consumer issue. my 7 on your side hotline is open monday through friday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. that telephone number is 415-954-8151. and you can also reach me on my facebook page and through abc7news.com. >> thank you, michael, very much. all right. we want to turn to our weather. if you were taking the dog for a walk today, as i did, louie was no, we're going back in. it's too windy.

>> your dog and your kite. >> give it one more day. things are going to calm down after tomorrow. but also warm up. here is clear skies across the bay area right now. it is really breezy out there right now still. and overnight we'll see low temperatures dropping into the upper 40s to low 50s under breezy conditions. again tomorrow, breezy but sunny with highs in a range similar to what we saw today. low 60s a tlt coast. low 70s around the bay. mainly upper 70s inland. but then things heat up over the weekend. take a better look at sunday and monday. high temperatures inland will be in the upper 90s. sunday we'll see 90 degrees around the bay shoreline. mid 70s on the coast. over 100 inland in the hottest locations on monday. low 90s around the bay shoreline. low 70s on the coast. the heat finally eases a bit on tuesday. we're still looking at mid-90s inland on tuesday. and temperatures settle down into a more seasonal range, more comfortable in my estimation. >> seasonal is nice. i'll go for seasonal. >> we'll take it. thanks, spencer. okay. let's talk a little more warriors basketball tonight. >> let's get to the real stuff
6:49 pm
we want to talk about, who is playing, larry. >> not who's fighting. >> who is hurt? who can play. i don't know. steve kerr looking down the bench. one all-star will return. one all-star will not yet. latest on klay thompson and kevin durant. who is healthy enough to go in game four of the finals for the warriors
6:50 pm
6:52 pm
of it here. klay thompson is expected to play in game four of the nba finals tomorrow at oracle. kevin durant is not going to play, and kevon looney is now back in as a maybe. all right. klay sat out last night because of the strained hamstring. he was pushing to play, but the team doctors thought that was too risky. he sat on the bench in frustration, looking up at scoreboard. and the warriors lost. klay says his hamstring feels better. he can't wait to go tomorrow night. >> it just sucks missing a finals game. it's the nba finals. this is what we work our whole lives for. but at the end of the day, i'd rather miss than one game than an entire series. it wasn't the end of the world. just to see steph go out there, put on a show, i'm very used to it. very weird not being out there joining him. and it's a crappy part of sports, but my body feels really good. and just that extra night of rest really helped. and i just can't wait to get out here tomorrow. >> as for the durant situation,
6:53 pm
this keeps getting murkier. he has been out since may 8th with a calf injury. steve kerr said yesterday kd would go through three-on-three or five-on-five workouts today to test his calf. well, then today kerr said he misspoke yesterday, and kd is not taking part in any workouts today. no durant tomorrow. the door remains open for game five and beyond. >> but he did not have a setback. you know, i'm getting asked a million questions every day, and so sometimes i might answer something that doesn't jibe perfectly with what the training saw that morning. so i probably misspoke last night. i thought today was the day, his day to get out on the floor. but he still has another -- another hurdle to clear before he can do that. so that's the next step. >> all right. now remember when the dubs ly out for the res of collarbone? revision. now they're saying it may only
6:54 pm
be a rib injury, and he might be able to play. that would be huge, because their defense was awful last night. despite everything that's gone on, with all of the injuries, there is still quite a bit of confidence on this team. >> being down 2-1 gives us all the motivation we need, honestly. i'd say the cards are stacked against us in terms of injuries and things like that. but that's a sob story nobody really wants to hear. can you get the job done? and we got to go do it. >> we still scored 109 points last night. that's enough points to win. we won with 109. so we got to get stops. and adding klay back to the fold is always going to make a difference. >> now if you listen to some national media members, a lot of them think this series is, and you might as well crown toronto as champions already. raptors head coach nick nurse would like to have a word with you. >> to me, this is a one-game series tomorrow. we're just trying to take 'em like each game's critical.
6:55 pm
we need to put a huge effort in. because i think if we put a huge effort in and we're the hardest playing team, then we're going to deserve to win. >> you know we always want to help you out. so your friday evening plans, we got it all set for you. you order pizza and enjoy our pregame show at 5:00. nba countdown 5:30. tip-off at 6:00. on your exclusive home for the finals, abc7. on to baseball. bruce bochy got his one thousandth win as a giants manager on tuesday. today trying to capture a series from the mets. first bat other of the game for the mets, here it comes and there it goes. hamid rosario, high, deep, aloha off rookie sean anderson. second is dominic smith. 2-zip in a flash. in the fourth, man on for brandon belt. oh seven of his nine homers this season have been on the road off of one-time giants prospect zack wheeler.
6:56 pm
2-2. pablo in the sixth. it's the panda express to the upper deck. 3-2, giants. 3-3 game in the eighth. todd fraser off of one knee, like he golfed it out off mark melancon. bring your glove, dude. mets win, 7-3. giants back home to host the dodgers tomorrow. a's and angels in about 15 minutes in anaheim. as far as kevin durant is concerned, until i actually see him running on to the court at this point, i just don't even know what to expect, because every day -- he might, he is not. i don't know. i don't know what's going on with that. >> it will be interesting tomorrow. we'll see. >> it's must-win tomorrow for sure. >> thanks, larry. >> join us tonight at night:00 on kofy tv. is this the hair of a mythical beast? the fbi has revealed its findings in a big foot case. >> that's intriguing. on abc7 news at 11:00, he loves making smartphone apps,
6:57 pm
