KD Drops Jaws With Assassin Mentality In Toronto
The Golden State Warriors can strike at any moment when at full strength. Funny thing about Thursday night’s game was that they weren’t, as Stephen Curry and Draymond Green continued to be sidelined with injuries.
Stepping up in their absence has been Kevin Durant, who coming into tonight was on a hot streak, averaging 41.7 PPG over his past three ball games, all Warriors wins.
The Warriors appeared as if they were going to be blown out of the building late into the first quarter as they fell behind 32-14, but this night was for Kevin Durant to continue to remind people why he’s one of the greatest scorers in NBA history.
Pulling up from the logo, getting to the rim at ease, and dominating in just about every which way, even with Kawhi Leonard on his case on a number of those possessions.
Thanks to his hot shooting, the Warriors closed the gap in the fourth quarter to two points eight minutes to play, but Toronto would answer, going back up by double digits with 4:34 left in the period.
After what looked like a dagger three-pointer by Kyle Lowry in front of the Warriors bench with 56 seconds remaining, Durant took the game into his own hands.
Take a look.
Golden State went on to lose 131-128 in overtime as Kevin Durant’s 51-point game was not enough to put the Warriors over the hump.
The Golden State Warriors will get a day off on Friday before going to play to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday night.
