The Golden State Warriors will be going for a sweep of the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers, and a sweep of the entire post-season, on Friday night when they take the court for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Last night at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, the Cavs were in position to hand the Warriors their first loss of the playoffs and make it a 2-1 series… but then Kevin Durant happened.
KD, who scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, took over down the stretch and hit a dagger three pointer over LeBron James with 45.3 seconds left, setting up Golden State's 118-113 victory.
Per ESPN,
"All I was looking at was the bottom of the net," Durant said.
"I saw he (James) was playing his heels behind the 3-point line. I've been working on that shot my whole life. To see that go in, that was liberating, man. We've got one more to go."
No team in NBA history has ever come back to win a series after trailing 3-0. No team in NBA history has ever started a post-season 15-0.
