redy. Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Golden State Warriors Ride Kevin Durant to the N.B.A. Championship After the Golden State Warriors failed to finish off the Cleveland Cavaliersin last year’s N.B.A. finals, blowing a 3-1 lead in the series, they knew they needed to get better if they wanted to go from a one-time title winner to a dynasty. So the team aggressively pursued superstar Kevin Durant in free agency. The former M.V.P. was worth every penny, leading the Warriors to their second championship in three years. Durant, who became just the sixth player in N.B.A. history to score 30 or more points in each game of a finals, had 39 in the series-clinching Game 5 victory. He proved his value all over the court with dominant play inside, great outside shooting and tenacious defense as the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 129-120.

redy. Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 one another note: Congrats Kevin! outstanding performance!!! Warriors' Kevin Durant named NBA Finals MVP OAKLAND – Kevin Durant signed with Golden State to win a championship. Outside of the Warriors organization and its fans, it was not a popular decision. Durant was criticized for his decision to leave a conference finalist (Oklahoma City) and join a team that won 73 regular-season games only to blow a 3-1 Finals lead against the Cavaliers last season. But if the goal is to win a championship, Durant, who over time dismissed the criticism, accomplished it. He scored a team-high 39 points in Golden State’s 129-120 victory and was named Finals MVP by 11 voting members of the news media. source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/playoffs/2017/06/13/warriors-kevin-durant-named-nba-finals-mvp/102801448/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
