Kevin Durant Held Back from CLE Hecklers At Team Hotel

“This one takes the cake, for sure”.

“It’s Oracle, they’re ripping the top off”, Brown said. It is not yet clear what type of contract Durant will sign with the Warriors. Game 3 is metaphoric for why he was so needed.

Stephen Curry, who set a new National Basketball Association record in game two, suffered a rare off night with 11 points.

“Holding Steph to 11 points and Klay to 10, you would think you would win that game”. “But tonight we weren’t that good”. The Golden State Warriors can beat the Cavs playing their C game and only need one of their four stars to play well. Love had 15 points and 10 rebounds in the first half.

LeBron James had 33 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, but his Cavaliers will have to become the first team to climb out of a 3-0 hole in the NBA Finals. Or it could be LeBron James was hoping to change his team’s luck heading in Game 3.

A Durant dagger from more than 30 feet sealed the deal, giving the Warriors a 106-100 lead in the final minute, seemingly sealing the fate of these NBA Finals. Hood, meanwhile, made the most of his release from the bench, scoring 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field to go with six rebounds in 26 minutes.

With the game hanging in the balance, Durant delivered an all-time, ice-in-his-veins pull-up three-pointer to effectively end the Cavs season. They dominated the offensive glass by a margin of 15-6.

Golden State will get their first chance to close out the series on Friday in Cleveland. Three. Point switching. We didn’t come together on [defensive] switching.

Yet, in Game 3, it was the Warriors who controlled the final minutes. He is averaging 31.1 points on 55.2 percent shooting.

Durant stepped up at the flawless time for the Warriors, who saw Curry struggle mightily with his shot. “You play more games at home than you do on the road as far as in certain arenas”.

But the Warriors are just never that easy to put away.

And he is facing the strong possibility of exiting Cleveland off the back of a third NBA Finals defeat in four years, if he decides to leave.

“The one he made tonight was 4 or 5 feet behind the one he made past year”, Cavaliers forward LeBron James said. I was like yelling the wrong thing. When I wake up Friday morning, I’ll be locked in on the game plan of what needs to be done to help our team win. “That’s who I am”. So the rest of the night will be tough.

“I know how to play the game”, Iguodala said.

Cleveland opened the game with a 16-4 run but the Warriors closed the first quarter with a 16-7 spurt to pull within 29-28 entering the second quarter.
