So yeah, it doesn’t look like the Golden State Warriors are going to be blowing any 3-1 leads this year and I have two words for a reason why: Kevin. Durant.
The best basketball player in the world went off for 38 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF of Game 6 against the Clippers in LA on Friday night, which is just one point behind Sleepy Floyd’s NBA record for points in a half in a playoff game.
UPDATE: Kevin Durant finished with 50 points and the Warriors beat the Clippers 129-110 to advance to the second round where they’ll face the Warriors.
Durant put the team on his back in the first half and led the Warriors to a 72-53 lead at the break.
He had to step up, too, because Steph Curry left briefly with an ankle injury.
Durant did it all, as you can see in these highlights:
And everyone was pretty darned impressed:
Let’s see if the Clippers can make another comeback.
