KEVON LOONEY incredibly saved a reporter from injury during a live TV interview. <br /><br />The Golden State Warriors forward came to the rescue when speaking to NBC Sports reporter Kerith Burke. <br /><br />Looney was talking about his team's defense at a training session ahead of their game against the Milwaukee Bucks. <br /><br />They were chatting courtside while the Warriors practiced behind them. <br /><br />And suddenly a ball came flying towards Burke's head - with her unaware of the danger. <br /><br />But Looney reacted quickly and stuck his arm out to tip the ball away from her head. <br /><br />She was able to duck out of the way of the player's saving swipe as the ice-cool 29-year-old continued his answer like nothing had happened. <br /><br />Burke was left grinning ear to ear and then burst into hysterics. <br /><br />She said: "Man, thank you for saving my life." <br /><br />After protecting Burke from a Jennifer Hudson incident, Looney then helped the Warriors to victory over the Bucks 104-93. <br /><br />It was a huge win for the Warriors and they did it without main man Stephen Curry who was rested for the game. <br /><br />Coach Steve Kerr explained the reason he missed out, saying: "He's tired. Steph's been carrying us for a month. He's amazing. <br /><br />"We got to get him some rest. You can see it. He doesn't have his energy right now."
