Lo califican de partido perfecto el de Kevin Durant, confirmado con un ttiple por encima de LeBron James con solo 45.3 segundos por terminar y completar sus 31 puntos de aporte para los Guerreros de Golden State que se impusieron 118-113 a los Cavaliers de Cleveland el miercoles en la noche en casa de los Campeones defensores de la NBA y se ponen 3-0 arriba en la serie al mejor de 7.
Esta fue la victoria 15 de postemporada para Golden State, que se convierte en la mayor consecutiva en cualquiera de los 4 deportes profesionales en Norteamerica.
Con una victoria el viernes en el cuarto partido de la serie, Golden State tomaria revancha de la derrota en el pasado mes de junio, cuando Los Warriors dejaron escapar una ventaja de 3-1 en la final frente a los Cavaliers.
Ningun equipo se ha recuperado de un deficit de 3-0 y parece mas complicado por el nivel que estan exhibiendo los de Golden State.
CLEVELAND (AP) Kevin Durant released his deep shot, the one he always makes in his dreams.
As the ball hung in the air, his plan to win a championship, Golden State’s grip on the series, Cleveland’s last-gasp attempt to defend its title, all of it was on the line.
Durant drained the shot of his professional life – a 3-pointer over LeBron James with 45.3 seconds left – and scored 31 points as the Warriors, pushed harder than they have been throughout their pristine postseason, moved within one win of a title and payback by rallying to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-113 on Wednesday night to take a 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals.
The Warriors trailed by six with three minutes left before Durant, criticized for leaving Oklahoma City last summer to chase a championship, brought them back, scoring 14 in the fourth.
With their 15th straight win, the Warriors now have the longest postseason streak for any team in the four major professional sports.
But that means little to Golden State’s players, who with a victory in Game 4 on Friday night can exorcise those haunting demons from last June when the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals to the Cavaliers.
No team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit, and it doesn’t appear any team is equipped to hang with these Warriors, who may go down as one of the best ever.
